During the summer of 2022, Arsenal made a significant announcement, introducing Martin Odegaard as their newly appointed captain for the 2022/23 season.
This decision placed him alongside an esteemed group of the Gunners' legends including Tony Adams, Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, and current coach Mikel Arteta.
Following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's departure to Barcelona in 2022, the Premier League outfit had been operating without a permanent captain.
However, the decision to bestow the captaincy upon the former Real Madrid star was a brilliant move by Mikel Arteta. It granted the Norwegian talent the confidence and responsibility necessary to thrive as a leader, both on and off the pitch.
