Norway legend John Arne-Riise has heaped praise on Martin Odegaard.
The 22-year-old midfielder joined Arsenal from Real Madrid in the summer.
And Riise is glad to see another Norwegian in the Premier League.
Riise, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, told talkSPORT: "Norway has been lacking players in the Premier League in the last few years.
"Ten or 15 years ago, we had so many players, now there are very few and not many have made a good impression.
"I'm glad that Odegaard is at Arsenal and looking good. Hopefully he will have a good season.
"But we need a few more players up there and challenging and really making a name for themselves, just so Norwegian football can get back to what it used to be, with players playing in top leagues."
