FGG says
Odegaard chant is everything a football song should be: catchy, celebratory and rooted in genuine admiration for a player who embodies Arsenal's creative spirit. Its rise from the terraces at Goodison Park to becoming a regular anthem at Emirates shows how quickly it struck a chord with supporters.
With its infectious tune and simple lyrics, the song not only honours Odegaard's brilliance but also strengthens the bond between the captain and fans. It deserves a stand alongside Arsenal's great terrace chants, a fitting soundtrack for the man who leads the team's charge on the pitch.
