Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard says Norway teammate Erling Haaland is handling well the hype around his move to Manchester City.
Haaland is leaving Borussia Dortmund for City this summer in a Norwegian record transfer.
His national team captain Odegaard said: "He does not care about it, so he handles it just fine. He is the same he has always been and focuses on what he can do something with, and that is to play football, score goals and now with the national team help us win matches, as he did last time. He cares very little about what everyone else thinks."
Norway coach Stale Solbakken also said: "There's a little Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) about it. How much should he sit here and what should he say? We must have respect for the fact that the interest around him is at a level that we have probably never seen in Norway around an athlete.
"He handles it well inside and out. It is difficult to understand the situation he is in. We must have respect for that. But it is going well."
