Overview
- Paul Scholes, speaking on The Overlap on Wednesday, said Martin Odegaard is a “big problem” for Arsenal and called his recent play “bull***t.”
- He argued the captain has been dropping too deep instead of holding the No. 10 position that should link midfield to the forwards.
- Scholes also criticized new signing Martin Zubimendi, saying the midfielder has struggled with the Premier League’s pace and does not progress the ball enough.
- In the same discussion, he backed Manchester City for the title and said Arsenal have lacked flow in recent big games.
- Subsequent reports noted Odegaard’s season has been hit by injuries and a dip in form and relayed unconfirmed chatter about his long‑term role, with no transfer decision reported.
