Odegaard is still 'growing into the captaincy role'

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.
John asked: How do you rate Martin Odegaard, as a player and a captain? Does he have the potential to be thought of as a legendary Arsenal captain, along with the likes of McLintock, Adams, O'Leary and Vieira?
Phil answered: I rate Martin Odegaard very highly, as an outstanding footballer and a fine leader, although I still feel he is growing into the captaincy role and there is a lot more to come from him on both fronts.
If he can lift a trophy, that will help as well - and I do think he has every chance of doing that at some point with this Arsenal team.
You have named some great captains there, including Double-winners Tony Adams and the legendary Frank McLintock. If he gets anywhere near their achievements, he will be ranked among the greats.
