Arsenal's Ødegaard Reaches Remarkable 200-Game Milestone in Record Time
21 Aug
Summary
- Ødegaard has reached 200 appearances for Arsenal in just 4.5 years
- He has featured in 86% of Arsenal's matches since his debut
- Ødegaard is second only to Bukayo Saka for direct goal involvements
As of August 21st, 2025, Arsenal's Norwegian midfielder Martin Ødegaard has reached a remarkable milestone, making his 200th appearance for the club in just 4.5 years. Ødegaard, who joined from Real Madrid, has been a consistent presence in the Arsenal lineup, featuring in 86% of the club's matches since his debut.
Ødegaard's availability and influence have been crucial to Arsenal's development under manager Mikel Arteta. The 24-year-old has missed just 17 league fixtures across his time at the club, cementing his status as a key player. Ødegaard's contributions extend far beyond his consistency, as he has scored 41 goals and provided 36 assists, placing him second only to Bukayo Saka for direct goal involvements during this period.
The partnership between Ødegaard and Saka has been particularly productive, with the former providing seven assists to the latter. Ødegaard's creative prowess is further highlighted by the fact that, among Premier League players since his arrival, only Bruno Fernandes, Kevin De Bruyne, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have created more chances across all competitions.
