Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has admitted that he has been proven wrong by Martin Odegaard.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was signed by Arsenal on a permanent basis in the January window.<\/p>\n

Odegaard has re-joined an Arsenal attack that is becoming increasingly reliant on young talent.<\/p>\n

All of Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are 21 or under, making Odegaard the oldest of Arsenal\u2019s burgeoning young attacking talent.<\/p>\n

Of late though, it has been the Norwegian that is really making Arsenal\u2019s attack tick.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Paul Merson on Martin Odegaard<\/h2>\n

And now, Paul Merson has admitted that he has been proven wrong by the former Real Madrid midfielder:<\/p>\n

\u201cMartin Odegaard has proved me wrong and is becoming the leader Arsenal need to pass their toughest test yet,\u201d Merson said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is the main man there now and the first name on the teamsheet for me. He has really improved and is doing the business. I think the players respect him because they can see he\u2019s a real player. I didn\u2019t see it at first, I have to admit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Merson also discussed Odegaard\u2019s stint at Spanish powerhouse real Madrid: \u201cIt looked like he didn\u2019t really want to leave Real Madrid, and I didn\u2019t think he pulled up any trees on his loan spell at Arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could have sulked and lost his confidence when Madrid didn\u2019t want him any more, but he\u2019s playing better than ever now. He\u2019s Arsenal\u2019s go-to man and he makes them tick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe isn\u2019t a leader in terms of running around and kicking people or barking out orders. But in terms of the way he\u2019s playing he is. The way he\u2019s turned it around people are looking at him now and fair play, he has done very, very well. He always wants the ball and knows how to use it. That\u2019s leadership too. I take my hat off to him because he\u2019s top, top drawer. One of the best in the Premier League in my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n
