Arsenal midfielder Odegaard tells fans: Watch Lewis

Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard has told fans to keep an eye on fellow Norwegian George Lewis.

The winger was snapped up as a free agent last season after being released from Norway's lower divisions.

In a Q&A, Odegaard said: “I speak with George Lewis, obviously he's Norwegian and we speak the same language so yeah, I speak to him every now and then. He's been injured, I know he had a hard time so we speak and he's a good guy. A talented guy as well.

“To give advice to young players, I would just say, work hard and have fun.

"That is very important and it's easy to forget, we all play football because it's fun… so have fun, but work hard, believe in yourself, never give up and then everything is possible."
