Arsenal have picked up 22-year-old Martin Odegaard on a season long loan valid until the summer. The Norwegian already made his debut for 'The Gunners' yesterday when he was sent off against Manchester United in the 83rd minute. Nordlondon club goalkeeper Bernd Leno is looking forward to playing with the offensive player.

"I think we should all be very excited because he is an offensive midfielder who turns around, wants to move forward, wants to make the passes and create the chances and have assists," Leno told the Evening Standard.

In his first days he has been very impressive and has been open to everyone and I think we will have fun with him in the coming months.

With Odegaard on the field, Arsenal managed to play 0-0 against Manchester United. Thus, the club has now been unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches. During that period, they have only conceded two goals and kept a clean sheets in five of the matches. At the time of writing, they are in 10th place with 31 points - 13 points behind the leading team Manchester City.
