Arsenal captain, Martin Odegaard, has picked Cesc Fabregas over the likes of Thierry Henry and Santi Cazorla as the club’s former player he would love to play with.
Odegaard said Fabregas makes things happen, adding that he plays in the same position as the Spaniard.
Speaking with ESPN, the 26-year-old was asked which former Arsenal player he’d want to play with at Emirates Stadium.
Odegaard said, “The natural one to say would be [Thierry] Henry.
“But I loved [Cesc] Fabregas and I also loved Cazorla. I am going to go with Fabregas.”
The Norway international added: “We play the same position, we both like to get on the ball and try to make things happen.
“I always watched him when I was young. The way he dominated the game with the ball, his engine, and how he controlled the pace of the game was next level. ”
“So it would be cool [to play alongside him],” he stated.
Fabregas is currently the manager of Serie A side Como.
The former midfielder played for the likes of Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Monaco during his playing days.
