Martin Odegaard believes being eliminated from the Europa League means Arsenal will turn their focus towards winning the Premier League.
The Gunners are out of every cup competition in this campaign and now have just a few games to go in the league.
They have a five-point cushion on Manchester City at the top of the league table and want to end the term as champions.
This means dropping out from the Europa League can be a blessing because they will now have enough time to rest and prepare for each league game.
The club captain believes this means every league game is a must-win for them now.
The Norwegian said via The Sun:
“We have to show it now. It is pretty straightforward for us now, it’s only the league.
“We just have to focus on every game — it’s 11 finals for us. Just come back on Sunday, that’s all that matters now.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We now have clarity over our seasonal goals and know we have just a single trophy to win.
The Premier League is heading towards its conclusion, but our main rival Manchester City is still in the European cup.
We must make advantage of having more rest count for us.

Come On You Odegaard. But why had Arsenal not shown last Thursday’s night at the Ems they can win this season’s Europa League Cup by knocking out Sporting CP? And remain in the competition striving on to win the Cup.
No cheap talks to pacify the anger. But work very hard more than ever since the season began during the last 11 Arsenal’s game in run-in of the season. And win all the 11 mathues to garner 99 points at season’s end to win the Epl title commandingly on style.
And are Arsenal 6 Epl game wins away to qualify for next season’s Ucl? DT said so on U-Tube. And as I checked to confirm. I discovered it’s true
captain Odegaard strive harder more than ever to lead the Gunners to win the Epl title this season unfailingly..
On current form, City are looking ferocious. A convincing win will hopefully settle the nerve’s tomorrow and the international break may put MC off their stride
I think that Haarland is a bit green and needs a season to adjust. Dont expect too much this season.
Very funny Reggie. I’m just glad he went off the boil for a wee while!
Can only hope that the manager and the team remain fully focused
Sue, i dont think i have seen such an unplayable striker than Haarland for many a year, if not ever in the prem.
Yeah right! Just the paltry 42 goals so far.
That being said, I seriously think that having HAALAND, has made City less dangerous, not more so.
They have only ten men playing outside the penalty area at any one time and do not score more goalss than previous seasons OVERALL.
Far too reliant on HIM for scoring, while we spread the goals around the team, which is better.
