Brentford manager Thomas Frank
has said Gunners midfielder, Martin Odegaard, is close to Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne’s performance levels this season.
He also argued that he believes that Arsenal can win the Premier League title this season given the way they have started the campaign.
Brentford and Arsenal square up in the Premier League on Sunday and Thomas Frank thinks the current Arsenal side is a better one than the one his side faced last season.
Before the Queen’s death and their 3-1 defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal had recorded five wins from their opening six Premier League games.

Odegaard, meanwhile, has been in top form for the Gunners, who will be looking to get back on track in the Premier League.
Thomas Frank speaking to reporters ahead of the game against Arsenal said, “We are playing against a very good side.
“When we beat them a year ago, I think they were not in the same place as they are now.
“Doing it on Sunday would be completely different because for me, now, after [Manchester] City, they are the best performing team in the league.
“That’s another level. And I thought they could win the Premier League.
‘I think they’ve been fantastic. I think the players are growing, they’ve got the right players in.
“Odegaard, the way he plays at this moment in time, De Bruyne is a decent player, but he’s not far off him in terms of performances.”
