Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard is happy to take a leadership role within the squad.
Odegaard does not believe he needs to wear the captain's armband to be a leader on the pitch for Arsenal.
The 23-year-old is hoping to use his rise as a teenage sensation to help the likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe cope under the pressure.
“I've been through a lot, you know," he told the PA news agency.
“I went to Real Madrid when I was 16, I played in Norway at 15 and I've been to some different clubs on loan and I feel like I've been through a lot.
“That helped me to grow up and to feel more confident and to use that in a good way now.
“Of course, it's a bit more responsibility with being captain for your country but I don't feel like I've changed after that. I think I'm the same person.
“I would do the same things if I wasn't the captain there and I would always try to help the team so to me that's not the most important thing."
