Premier League names Martin Odegaard player of the matchweek

The Premier League selected Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard as the Player of the Matchweek following his performance in Sunday's derby against Chelsea. Odegaard secured 31 percent of the total vote, finishing ahead of Alexander Isak, who received 30 percent. During the match, the Arsenal captain recorded one goal and created four chances for his team. This recognition adds to his recent inclusion in the BBC and WhoScored Teams of the Week. Odegaard has started the 2026/27 campaign with three goals in his first four appearances, including efforts against Manchester City and Chelsea. His recent form follows a 2025/26 season limited by injury, raising questions at the time regarding his long-term future at the club. Alongside his individual accolade, teammates David Raya and Ezri Konsa were also named to the Premier League Fan Team of the Week.
