Micah Richards lauded Martin Odegaard and compared the Arsenal skipper to Premier League legend David Silva.
Odegaard has captained the Gunners to the top of the table, with Mikel Arteta's men holding a five point advantage over closest challengers Manchester City. The Norwegian was a key influence as Arsenal came from two goals down to beat Bournemouth on Saturday.
It was the latest in a string of impressive performances from the 24-year-old, who also scored in the recent win over Everton. His displays this term have led to Richards including the midfielder in his shortlist for player of the season so far.
