Cristiano Ronaldo's eight-year prediction on Martin Odegaard is finally coming true to Arsenal.

Odegaard joined Real Madrid when he was just 16-years-old back in 2015 but struggled to make a lasting impact at the Bernabeu Stadium before he eventually joined the Gunners on a short term loan last season before signing permanently last summer. The Norwegian international has since become a vital part of Mikel Arteta's side this term and has even worn the captain's armband in recent weeks - a testament to how highly the Arsenal boss rates the 23-year-old.

He has netted six goals and provided a further six assists in the Premier League this season whilst also boasting even more impressive underlying creative numbers, notching 6.3 xA (expected assists), 122 shot-creating actions and 67 key passes, as per fbref. The talented playmaker, who joined the club for just £30million, is finally beginning to fulfil his potential and prove Manchester United icon Cristiano Ronaldo right in the process.
