EPL: ‘He’s everywhere’ – Man United legend, Ryan Giggs names favourite Arsenal player

Former Manchester United player and legend, Ryan Giggs, has declared Norwegian Arsenal star Martin Odegaard as his favorite player from the current season so far. Last season, Odegaard had a less impressive campaign, scoring just one goal and providing six assists as Arsenal claimed the Premier League title. This was a significant drop from his second and third years at the club, when he was a major goal threat, earning him Player of the Season honors twice.

Odegaard has had a stellar start to the 2021-22 campaign, netting Arsenal's third goal in the Community Shield and scoring against Coventry City and Chelsea in the Premier League. His impressive form continued when he scored the decisive goal in Arsenal's Champions League victory over Napoli. However, he was somewhat subdued in Arsenal's 2-0 win against Sunderland a week later.

Giggs, who won a record 13 Premier League titles with Manchester United, expressed his admiration for Odegaard during a recent YouTube appearance on the Rio Ferdinand Presents channel. When asked to name his favorite player in Arteta's squad, Giggs unequivocally chose Odegaard. He praised the young Norwegian's ability to control games, describing him as "everywhere", "strong", and "defensively very good."
