Ordgou expressed his pride of being re-elected as captain of Arsenal.

Previously, former captain Tony Adams had questioned Odge's identity as captain and believed that Declan Rice should be the position. However, Arteta revealed that the Norwegian international received unanimous support from his teammates before the new season began, which made Odgao very happy.

"I'm glad to be selected as captain again by the team," Odge said before Saturday's game against Leeds United. "It feels good because what matters most to me is the thoughts of the head coach, the coaching staff and the teammates. It feels great to know that they recognize me. It means a lot to me to hear these words."
