Martin Odegaard has claimed that he has a “good connection” with compatriot and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
Odegaard and Haaland have an unbreakable bond.
They both play for Norway, and their on-field chemistry is noticeable while representing the country. The Arsenal midfielder has now claimed that they hit it off right away and that Haaland is one of his closest teammates.
Odegaard’s statement
“We had a good connection from the start. He’s a funny guy you know! In the national team, he’s one of the guys I spend the most time with,” Odegaard told BT Sport.
Previously, the Arsenal captain attempted to persuade Haaland to join the Gunners over Manchester City in the summer. However, the striker laughed it off!
“Yeah, I tried! When Arsenal fans were posting pictures of him and me in the shirt, I sent it to him, you know? I was working but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough! He just laughed. He’s a funny guy,” he stated earlier.
Norway’s next fixture
Norway will host Finland in a friendly on November 20, in which the duo is expected to feature.
