Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has sent out a clear message about the team’s ambitions, stressing that the Gunners are determined to turn promise into silverware this season.
The Norwegian midfielder, who recently returned to the starting XI in a 2–0 Champions League triumph over Olympiacos, summed up the squad’s hunger for success by saying:
“We want this to be our year, we’re hungry.”
A Team Growing in Confidence

Ødegaard’s words mirror the belief spreading within the camp. Having come close to winning the Premier League in recent years, Arsenal appear more focused than ever on going the extra step and delivering trophies to their supporters. His influence in the Olympiacos victory, playing a part in both goals highlighted not only his creativity but also his importance to Mikel Arteta’s system.
Leading by Example
As skipper, Ødegaard knows his performances will set the tone. His ability to inspire teammates both on the pitch and in the dressing room could prove decisive as the season unfolds. His vision, work rate, and leadership qualities were all evident in his comeback match, reinforcing why he wears the armband.
More Than Just Words
Ødegaard’s statement carries weight beyond motivation, it is a rallying call. For Arsenal, the real test lies in translating confidence into consistent performances. If they maintain this hunger and back their captain’s words with results, this campaign could finally bring the long-awaited silverware.
