MARTIN ODEGAARD displayed a mind-blowing move at training that Arsenal fans just can’t stop talking about.
Spirits are high in the Gunners’ camp mid-way through their tour of the US.
Classy Odegaard

Odegard flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot whilst facing away from goal
Defender Walters was left static as the Norwegian turned him inside out
And a video has done the rounds on social media of the Norwegian international producing the turn of the century.
Reuell Walters was bamboozled as Odegaard, 23, executed the silkiest of skills.
With the ball on his left foot, the play maker turned 180 degrees with a flashy flick of his right toe to nudge the ball and create space between him and the defender.
The control and the body contortion required for the turn was made to look effortless by Odegaard.
The resulting cross didn’t look the greatest but credit has to go to the young Walters for keeping up with the play.
An Arsenal fan twitter account shared the video, with the caption: “This turn from Martin Odegaard. Holy f*** that is disgusting.”
A fellow supported responded: “The detail and technical excellence is unreal! Look at the slow mo version. What a player.”
One guy answered: “Proper dirty that, Love to see it.”

And another laughed: “If I try to do that I’ll break my ankle into pieces.”
While someone agreed: “I’ve fallen down just looking at it.”
Another has high hopes for Odegaard this term: “This guy is feasting next season. Early shout but could be a contender for POTY.”
However, one comment was a little more dour: “We’ve gone from celebrating 49 unbeaten run to celebrating a step over in a pre-season training session.”
Mikel Arteta’s men continue their American schedule this Thursday where they’ll be heading to Orlando City, and not for the theme park.
Summer signing Gabriel Jesus grabbed himself another goal as the Gunners dismantled Premier League rivals Everton in Baltimore.
The Brazilian has hit the ground running since completing his £45 million deal this summer and Arteta even described Jesus as “chaos” on the pitch.
However, MLS outfit Orlando City could prove to be tricky customers as they will be playing in front of their home crowd.
But the Gunners’ confidence should be sky high on a whole, considering their 100 per cent unbeaten pre-season record so far.
