The relationship between Arsenal's two brilliant young attacking players is clear to see on the pitch, and it is built on off-field trust
Whether it be on the right flank, in the penalty area or at ’s training ground, and are never too far apart. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has often stressed the importance of on- and off-pitch relationships, and these two are very much the prime example of that within his squad. Advertisement Since Odegaard’s permanent arrival from in the summer of 2021, no pairing has been as consistently in-tune as the Norwegian as a right-sided No 8 and Saka on the right wing.
From a connection perspective, they are Arteta’s most threatening duo. They rank first and second for passes made in the final third and chances created between two players for Arsenal. Saka has found his skipper 235 times, with Odegaard going the other way 195 times. Odegaard has created 22 chances for Saka, with the winger creating 18 chances in return — the highest combination of chances created between two players across the Premier League this season.
