      Incredible stats show telepathy between Saka and Odegaard, now Arteta wants them to emulate two legends of the game

      MIKEL ARTETA has challenged Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard to become Arsenal’s very own Andres Iniesta and Xavi.The Gunners skipper and playmaker Odegaard has forged a telepathic relationship with winger Saka down the right side of the pitch over the past few seasons – their side’s primary goal-scoring source.Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka are a key duo for Mikel Arteta’s ArsenalCredit: GettyBarcelona’s Xavi and Andres Iniesta were one of the game’s great partnershipsCredit: GettyIn fact, since Odegaard returned from a two month lay-off with an ankle ligament injury last month, 51.4 per cent of their chances have been created down the right flank – the highest in the Prem.In their 3-0 defeat of Nottingham Forest on November 23, they shared 36 passes between each other – the second highest combo between two players, excluding defenders, this term.And last season, they created 40 open play chances for each other in the Prem, passing to each other 322 times.Excluding centre backs, only Manchester City’s Rodri and Mateo Kovacic produced more.read more arsenalThe stats are there, but the trophies for Arsenal under Arteta – as of yet – are not, something that Barcelona legends Iniesta and Xavi collected at an alarming rate during their careers.Together at the Nou Camp, to name a few, they won seven La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns.Alongside star names like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Neymar, that midfield duo were the threads that knitted everyone together – the consistent, reliable catalysts that kept Pep Guardiola’s Barca on the right track for European glory and historic Trebles year after year.This is what Arteta eyes for both Odegaard, 25, and Saka, 23 as the North Londoners aim to finally end their 20-year wait for a Prem title – especially with a mountain to climb this term currently nine points behind leaders Liverpool.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSAhead of Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United, when asked if he has seen a better relationship between two players, boss Arteta – a former Barca academy product – said: “Yes. I always think about Barcelona with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. It was unbelievable.“They didn’t even need to look at each other.“Our two centre backs [William Saliba and Gabriel] naturally there is a chemistry there that is unbelievable.“So, we try to develop those more and more because there is something there that is very difficult to put a number to it.“But it’s close in a natural way and the more relationships you have make the team the better.”Arteta welcomes Ruben Amorim, 39, to the Emirates just weeks after the Portuguese coach took charge of Manchester United – drawing one and winning two of his first three games in charge in all competitions.Jorginho tells Arsenal star Bukayo Saka to become England’s fifth-ever Ballon d’Or winner and end 23-year wait Also in his late thirties when he arrived at his first job in the English football, Arteta knows what it takes to hit the ground running at a big club with results that demand patience and earn respect.Having been hired by Arsenal in December 2019 as a 37-year-old, asked what lessons he had for Amorim, Arteta – now 42 – explained: “How unpredictable the job is.“I jumped into a new job in the middle of the season in very special circumstances socially. Then we got hit by COVID.“You can plan whatever you want but football brings different things and you have to deal with it. Take it as it comes and deal with it.“But you can see his fingerprints [at United] in what he wants to do straight away. He’s been very clear with what he wants to do. What he did with Sporting Lisbon was remarkable after so many years.“Especially the way he did it and the way his teams are playing. It brings energy to a new club and the players which is always positive.

      Leicester 3 West Ham 1: Van Nistelrooy triumphs in first game in charge but Lopetegui one step closer to Hammers axe

      by

      THE more things change the more they stay the same – as long as Jamie Vardy is around.The 37-year got Ruud van Nistelrooy’s reign off to the perfect start with a second minute opener – the SIXTH time he has got a new Foxes boss off the mark.Ruud Van Nistelrooy got off to winning ways as Leicester bossCredit: GettyJulen Lopetegui faces the West Ham sackCredit: RexVardy also christened Claudio Ranieri, Craig Shakespeare, Claude Puel, Brendan Rodgers, Steve Cooper’s Leicester careers with their opening goals.Van Nistelrooy will thank his luck that he has Vardy and Julen Lopetegui will curse his that he doesn’t have a Hammers equivalent.His side bossed much of this game yet couldn’t put away a string of chances and long before full-time disgusted Hammers fans were singing: “You’re getting sacked in the morning,” at their Spanish boss.Van Nistelrooy was able to celebrate a second half clincher from Bilal El Khannouss and it could have been even worse had sub Bobby De Codova-Reid’sphantom ‘third goal’ not been disallowed by a narrow VAR offside call.READ MORE IN football Van Nistelrooy received a warm rather than rapturous reception from his new support.It was as if Leicester fans were cautiously weighing him up before deciding whether they were having him or not.Van Nistelrooy looked a little lost as the applause and cheers soon faded – so he ended up reaching out and shaking the paw of club mascot Filbert Fox!Yet incredibly, less than two minutes later the Dutchman was punching the air in delight as his players gave him the perfect welcome with a speedy goal.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSLeicester worked the ball neatly down the left then played it inside to Bilal El Khannouss who looked up and spotted Jamie Vardy haring off.He slid the ball through for the veteran to chase and the 37-year-old sprinted clear of West Ham’s high defence to race through on goal.As Lukasz Fabianski advanced Vardy kept his cool to clip a right footer around the Polish goalie to find the far corner of the net.The celebrations were initially cut short by a flag raised by far-side assistant ref Marc Perry, who reckoned Vardy was offside.However the official made the same mistake as the Hammers ridiculously high back-line – they simply didn’t give enough respect to Vardy’s pace.After a lengthy VAR check it became clear that Konstantinos Mavrapanos’s trailing leg had played Vardy onside and the goal was given to a huge roar from home fans as Van Nistelrooy applauded.Whatever Leicester boss is in charge it doesn’t take them long to appreciate Vardy’s worth.Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for LeicesterCredit: GettyVardy celebrates his openerCredit: PAIncredibly the 37-year-old has now scored the first goal for SIX different Leicester managers among his 195 club goals.The old Fox almost added a second six minutes later when he raced onto a Victor Kristiansen pass but this time Fabianski managed to stay big and deflect his shot into the side netting.Things looked bleak for under pressure Hammers boss Lopetegui but in fairness his players rallied for him.They absolutely dominated the rest of the half as they peppered Mads Hermansen’s goals with 20 shots to Leicester’s three by half-time.But the thin blue line held firm.Jarrod Bowen curled a shot around Kristiansen but Hermansen reacted brilliantly to beat it away.Then Danny Ings header deflected off James Justin but bounced off the post before Vestergaard hurled himself in front of Kilman to block his rebound.West Ham fans then celebrated an equaliser – only to be mocked by Leicester fans who could see Soucek’s header had rippled the side net.Bilal El Khannouss doubled Leicester’s leadCredit: GettyEl Khannouss celebrates his goalCredit: GettyBowen’s centre then found no takers before the England winger brought out more heroics from Hermansen who thwarted him again.Somehow Leicester made it to the break with their lead intact.They continued to ride their luck after the restart as Hermansen produced more heroics to claw a deflected Kudus shot over.West Ham thought they had levelled after 58 minutes when sub Crysencio Summerville’s skied effort was missed by Hermansen and dropped behind him into the Leicester net.But referee Josh Smith reckoned Tomas Soucek had impeded the goalie and VAR agreed – although it was hard not to sympathise with Hammers fans who reckoned they had been robbed.Their miserable night was completed when the Foxes wrapped up the points with a sucker punch break.Kasey McAteer picked out El Khannouss in the box and the Moroccan international steered a right footer beyond Fabianski.Lopetegui’s night was summed up when Summerville touched a Bowen cutback beyond Harmansen, only to be denied by Conor Coady who toes the ball off the line.As West Ham crumbled Patson Daka sprinted clear of the Hammers’ snail-paced defence to lash home a third.READ MORE SUN STORIESIt sealed a perfect
