Harry Redknapp feels that Mikel Arteta has one of the best midfielders in the world in his squad at Arsenal.
The former Tottenham boss has named two Gunners stars in his Premier League Team of the Week after the north Londoners thrashed Burnley 5-0 on Saturday.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard got on the scoresheet in that match while Bukayo Saka produced two goals in what was an impressive victory.
Redknapp firmly believes that Odegaard is among the very best in his position across the globe as he hailed the Norway star in an interview with BetVictor.
‘Martin Odegaard opened the scoring for Arsenal with a beautiful strike and produced an excellent display against Burnley,’ Redknapp said.
‘He had a role in Arsenal’s second and set up Saka for the third with a lovely pass.
‘A goal, an assist and yet another world-class performance. He has to be one of the best midfielders in the world at the moment.’

Redknapp also insists that Saka is ‘on fire’ despite the English star facing bizarre criticsm from Tim Sherwood following the victory over Burnley.
‘There should be no surprise that Bukayo Saka has made it onto my TOTW again,’ Redknapp added.
‘He added another two goals to his tally in a 5-0 thrashing for Arsenal against Burnley. He scored another penalty, followed by a quality strike for the second. He’s now scored six in his last four games. The lad’s on fire.’
