Martin Odegaard announces ‘it feels amazing’ to welcome tough midfielder to Arsenal!
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has opened up and revealed that it feels amazing to welcome Spanish star Mikel Merino to the club after he completed his move to the Emiates.
Merino was a player that Mikel Arteta really wanted to sign – The Gunners were working for months to make sure that the European winner for 2024 was signed and brought to the club.
He has now been at the club for a few days after sealing that switch – and now ARSENAL Captain and one of the clubs most important stars Odegaard has opened up and revealed that it feels amazing to welcome Merino to the club.
He Said: ‘It’s great to welcome Mikel Merino to the club. I played with him for one season at Real Sociedad when I was on loan there. He’s a great player, a great person and I have no doubt he will be a really strong addition to the squad on and off the pitch.
‘He’s a leader as well, he’s been through a lot in his career, has won things with Sociedad and also with Spain now, so he brings something different. He brings a lot of quality on the ball of course, but also in the duels he is so strong.
‘The number of duels he wins is incredible and on top of that, he runs so much in every game. I had a great connection with him in Spain and we played very well together, so I’m really looking forward to playing with him again.
‘I spoke to him a few times when his move here started to happen. I basically just said to him that I was there if he needed anything to settle into his new club, and how much I was looking forward to getting going again with him.”
