Tony Cascarino discussed Odegaard on the TalkSPORT show. He stated:
One player that stood out, he’s so much like Kevin De Bruyne, is [Martin] Odegaard. His ability to pass the ball, move it and you have to give a lot of credit to [Mikel] Arteta because he had been on loan and he didn’t send him back.
