Odegaard sets Arsenal World Cup assist record before elimination

Summary

Martin Odegaard and Norway were eliminated from the World Cup on July 12 after losing to England in the quarter-final. During the match, Odegaard provided an assist for Norway’s opening goal, marking his fourth assist of the tournament. This achievement sets a new record for Arsenal players at a single World Cup. Previously, only Dennis Bergkamp and Bukayo Saka had recorded three assists at a World Cup as Arsenal players. As England advanced in the tournament, Saka could still potentially match Odegaard's record. Odegaard will now take a break for three weeks before returning for Arsenal's pre-season activities.
