Champions League highlights: Arsenal 2-0 Olympiakos
Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard to be a risk-taker to make a greater creative difference for the side.
The Norway midfielder's display in Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos proved why he is such a crucial figure for the Gunners.
Odegaard had a hand in both goals, scored by Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, and manager Arteta has given the 26-year-old "total freedom" to show off his talent after a disrupted start to the season with a shoulder injury.
"I think that creativity is his nature," said the Spaniard. "It doesn't bring any pressure to him as it is his best ability to generate things that not a lot of players can do.
