Martin Odegaard explains why Arsenal's Premier League title rivals should be worried as he opens up on aspect of his game that 'hasn't been good enough'

Arsenal sit second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Liverpool - who also have a game in hand. However, Gunners captain Odegaard believes his team still have "another gear" and that he can improve his goal-scoring stats in what remains of this season.

He said, via The Mirror: “For the team, we’re in a good position. But still I feel like we have another gear, another step that we can take and hopefully we can hit that top form now until the end of the season. It was the same last year. We really hit top form towards the end of the season. Hopefully we can do that again and finish with a good run.

“It’s (goals) been something that I haven’t been good enough with this season. I feel like I’ve been in enough situations and created a lot for others but I haven’t been clinical enough with the finishing. So that’s something that I really want to step up towards the end of the season.”

Indeed, Odegaard scored 15 goals in 2022-23 and 11 last season, but has managed just two this term. If Arsenal are finally to end their long drought for a league title, everyone, including the Norwegian, need to raise their game.

Arsenal host defending Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday in a game that could end their title hopes if they lose.
