Odegaard, 22, sealed a £30million switch to the Gunners this summer.

He has joined the club in the midst of a terrible run of form.

Mikel Arteta's side have lost their opening three Premier League games - scoring zero and conceding NINE.

"It's not something we have talked a lot about but that’s just how it should be at this club and that’s the standard."
