Following the club’s impressive start to the season with a close Europa League victory at Bodo/Glimt, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has praised the club’s “winning mentality.”

The Gunners won 1-0 in the Arctic Circle thanks to a fortuitous first-half goal from Bukayo Saka, giving them their 11th victory in as many games.
Odegaard started in his native Norway as manager Mikel Arteta shuffled his squad in preparation for Sunday’s daunting trip to Leeds.
With the World Cup truncating the club calendar, Arsenal have so far managed their squad well with only a 3-1 loss at Manchester United blotting their copy book.
What Did Odegaard Say About Arsenal’s Form?
Despite enjoying a comfortable lead in the Premier League, Odegaard claims no one is taking anything for granted and feels the team’s mentality is the driving force behind the current success.
“We know the quality we have and we know the mindset we have now,” he told the Evening Standard. Everyone is ready for every game, for every action, and that’s what we wanted today.
“It wasn’t the best game but we won, and that’s the best thing about it; the three points and our winning mentality to just win every game.

“That’s what it’s all about now, take it game by game and try to win every time we play, that’s what we want to do.
“We have to take it step by step, we’re not getting carried away, we have to stay calm and keep working hard and we’ll see.”
