Martin Ødegaard, a thread. Made in collaboration with the Ødegaard hive gc.

Martin Ødegaard is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Real Madrid and the Norway national team.

Martin is 22 years old and has been at Real Madrid since he was 16. He has spent a lot of time on loan at clubs like Sociedad.

Martin Ødegaard is a player who can play as a number 10, and also on the RW. He is very reminiscent to Mesut Özil but is still better. Providing a better goal threat and a more impressive presence in between the lines.

Here are Martin Ødegaard's characteristics as per whoscored.

At the moment, Ødegaard has not featured much for Madrid so we will be analysing his stats from last season to get a clearer picture.

Here is a graph that shows Martin Ødegaard's spectacular progressive ability. Here he is even better than Messi, who had is best playmaking season last year. He does not only create chances but also progresses the ball from midfield.

Here are a few metrics on Martin Ødegaard. Here we can see that Ødegaard is a true playmaker with his passes in to penalty area P90. You can also see that he is nto bad defensively as he has a high pressures P90 as well. He is also a complete dribbler.

Ødegaard had a good xG/A per 90 as well with a higher xA P90 but is still a goal threat.

Here is a creativity graph from last year. It shows that he is a balanced playmaker with his high through balls P90 and also his open shot creating actions as well.

This was one of the most surprising graphs, Martin Ødegaard is the second best attacking threat in La Liga just below Joaquin.

Last season, Ødegaard scored 7 goals. Provided 9 assists in 36 appearance throughout the 19/20 seson.

His heatmap shows that he is a right sided player but still is very much present centrally. He would provide good support to saka as well.

That's enough for stats. But now it's time for the eye test.

Here we can see Martin's amazing inhuman vision. No one would have expected that pass. https://twitter.com/WorldwideAFC/status/1351963603885240329?s=19

This comp shows how good he ws last season. https://twitter.com/N5COMPS/status/1352365559128723459?s=19

Now when we talk about Ødegaard, he is a very good playmaker. Has an amazing range of passing and is an adept dribbler. Has a goal threat and is very creative. He passes the eye test with flying colours.

What would Ødegaard bring to arsenal?
It's simple, creativity. Something that arsenal lack to the fullest. We are too dependant on scoring the perfect goal. Although it's has been solved, we still need cover for ESR as he is injury prone and it's too risky for him to carry us.

Conclusion:
Martin is a fantastic footballer. Who will be one very good signing for arsenal. An 18 month loan with a buy option of around 30 million will be perfect. He will bring much needed creativity, skill and unpredictability to our side.
