Clearly, his impressive showing during his loan spell in north London was enough to convince Arteta to make a permanent swoop for the Norwegian playmaker, and Arsenal announced a deal to land Odegaard on a permanent basis August 2021.
Odegaard featured regularly for Arsenal during the 2021-22 campaign and he was officially announced as the club’s new captain in July 2022 following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s controversial departure from The Emirates.
Mason Mount is a product of the Chelsea FC youth system and he earned his breakthrough into the first team at Stamford Bridge in 2019 under Frank Lampard.
After having impressed during a loan spell at Derby County in the 2018-19 season under Lampard, Mount enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2019-20 at Chelsea FC, featuring in all but one of the club’s Premier League games that term.

What About In Europe?
Let’s now take a look at how the pair have performed on the European stage recently.
The first thing to note is that Odegaard is yet to make an appearance for Arsenal in the Champions League due to the Gunners not having qualified for the competition in recent seasons.
That being said, the Norwegian did make six appearances and score one goal in the Europa League for Arsenal in the 2020-21 season, with the Gunners being knocked out by eventual champions Villarreal that term.

Prior to that, Odegaard also made two appearances in the Champions League for Real Madrid in the 2020-21 campaign.
Mount is the far more experienced player of the pair in the Champions League. He made his debut in the competition for Chelsea FC in the 2019-20 season, when he notched up eight appearances, including six starts.
By far his most memorable season in the Champions League came in 2020-21, when he scored two goals and made two assists in 11 games to help Chelsea FC to win the title for the second time in the club’s history. In the 2021-22 campaign, Mount scored one goal and made two assists in seven Champions League outings.
So, clearly Mount has far more European experience under his belt than Odegaard, with the Englishman having won the trophy with Chelsea FC in 2020-21, and Odegaard having only made two appearances in Europe’s elite club competition at the time of writing.
