It appears that Martin Odegaard, captain of Arsenal, recently took to Instagram to proclaim his relationship with Helene Spilling. Odegaard and Spilling have been seen together in public multiple times before.
Odegaard used Spilling to post many photos. The attacking midfielder wrote: in the post’s caption:
“Life is good.”
Spilling is a Norwegian dancer. She is the winner of the 2021 edition of Norway’s dance show, “Skal vi danse.” She previously said about her rumored relationship with Odegaard:
“I was also looking forward to talking about the matter a few days ago, but now there are only a few months until “Shall we dance”, so then it is important that I focus on that. Beyond that, I have no comment.”
Arsenal’s Odegaard was also quizzed about the matter in March. He told the media ahead of Norway’s clash against Spain (via TV2):
“I had been looking forward to talking about it. But they chose not to ask. It was a bit boring. No, as I said: I was looking forward to talking about that. But now there are two days until an important match, the start of a new qualifier, so I think we have to focus there.”
The Instagram post, though, suggests otherwise. Odegaard and Spilling have seemingly officially announced their much-rumored relationship.
How did Martin Odegaard fare for Arsenal this season?
This year’s campaign by Arsenal was unexpected. Even though it seemed impossible, Arsenal managed to secure second place in the Premier League. Nonetheless, for others, the team’s failure to claim the Premier League title after dominating the league for 248 days was a major disappointment.
Throughout the season, Odegaard played a pivotal role for the Gunners. The Norwegian was a brilliant midfield creative force. The Arsenal captain played in 45 matches across all competitions, scoring 15 goals and assisting on 8 more.
Odegaard has been an asset to the Gunners since joining from Real Madrid. In 105 games for the club, he has scored 24 goals and assisted on 15 others. For the time being, the player will likely play a pivotal role for Mikel Arteta’s squad.
