Haaland’s commendations highlight Ødegaard’s exceptional talent and leadership qualities.
In a conversation on the “Impaulsive” podcast, Haaland emphasized Norway’s emergence of top-tier athletes, stating, “We’ve got a lot of athletes as well. [Viktor] Hovland, the golfer, is doing amazing. You’ve got [Casper] Ruud in Tennis, also amazing. Don’t forget Ødegaard, fantastic player, he plays for Arsenal, he’s the captain. We’ve got a lot of good athletes from a small country and that’s also a really nice thing.”

He is showing the world how good he is. That is really fantastic to see.”
While Haaland’s admiration for Ødegaard is evident, there is no indication from credible sources that Haaland has expressed a desire to join Arsenal because of him.

them.
