Martin Odegaard has vowed that Arsenal will “take the trophies home” this season.

The Gunners require just one win to secure the Premier League title following a 1-0 victory over Burnley on Monday (18.05.26) – and could even be crowned champions on Tuesday (19.05.26) should Manchester City fail to beat Bournemouth – and the captain is keen to reward the fans with the title and glory in the Champions League, where they will face PSG in the final later this month.

Addressing Arsenal supporters during the lap of honour at the Emirates Stadium, Odegaard said: “I think it has been an amazing season, so far. We have one big one left here and then the Champions League obviously. And we want to take the trophies home.

“It has been amazing. Just a little bit to go now and we are going to give it our all. We have to keep going.

“I can promise you all that we give everything we have every single day. We are going to keep going until the very end. With your support we are going to be ready.

“The fans have been amazing – I think especially these last few home games, arriving at the stadium and seeing everything outside.

“And the atmosphere inside is amazing. So let’s get ready for the last bit – and thank you so much.”

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also hailed the fans for their support in what has the potential to be a historic season for the club.

The manager said: “It’s an absolute joy to witness the transformation and the contribution each of you have had to turn this place into the most beautiful place to enjoy and play our football games.

“This is the soul of this football club and each of you contribute to that. So make sure that every time you step into this stadium you face the responsibility now to match keep it at this standard because it makes such a difference for us and all the players.

“I want to thank you all, and I want see you soon in Selhurst Park (at the weekend against Crystal Palace) and for sure in Budapest (for the Champions League final) as well.

“But please [thank] the protagonists, the amazing group of players and the staff.”
