Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has opened up about the challenges he faced last season in the Premier League.
The Gunners were unable to win the league title last term, despite leading the league for the majority of the campaign.
After finishing second to Manchester City, Odegaard admits he is still not mentally recovered from that tussle.
Odegaard told TV2: "The whole ending, first with the club and then with the national team, was difficult.
I had a good season, a lot of good things happened, but when you finish like that, it becomes extra heavy.
"I felt I was very tired after the season. I needed a break, needed to disconnect and do completely different things.
The sum of both the club season and what happened here made it an even more tired body and a tired head that needed a holiday."
