Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been delighted with Martin Odegaard's impact at the club.

The Norwegian playmaker joined on loan from Real Madrid in January, and has started Arsenal's last four Premier League games.

There is no option to buy in Odegaard's loan agreement, but for now, Arteta is pleased with the 22-year-old's 'phenomenal' contribution.

Speaking ahead of Thursday's Europa League last-16 first leg against Olympiacos, Arteta said of Odegaard: "I'm really happy with him. I think he's settled really, really quickly into the team and with what we demand from the players.

"His behaviour, his attitude and his work rate has been phenomenal.

"He's had better moments than others to give us the special qualities he has, but overall I'm really happy with him."
