Recently, the deteriorating form of London’s Arsenal team has caught the attention of experts.

According to former player Mark Lawrenson, the "Gunners" must immediately make a radical decision.

Arsenal should strip Martin Ødegaard of the captaincy so that the midfielder can focus entirely on his performances.

We all know he is a good player, but this season the Norwegian has been playing just okay.

If Declan Rice were to become captain, there should be no doubt that it would impact the Englishman’s performances, as he has already held such roles at West Ham, explained M. Lawrenson.

This season in the Premier League, Ødegaard has scored 2 goals and provided 7 assists in 27 matches.
