This bodes extremely well for MLS' development and future.
You can legit pair him with either Rice or Bouaddi.
Technically, you can also pair him with Zubimendi for some games against lesser opposition.
Rice and Bouaddi will need Ødegaard in the lineup for safety and control, especially in build up but also in the middle and final third.
Even Zubimendi and Bouaddi can work, but still needs Ødegaard as the AM for rotations and positional security.
I'd also be curious to see MLS, Rice, Zubimendi or MLS, Bouaddi, Zubimendi trio with Zubimendi a bit higher up.
Make no mistake, these four midfielders are all good enough to start for several other 'big' teams (and they were chased by other teams), so don't take for granted what you have.
🚨 Mikel Arteta wants to rotate four midfielders next season: Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Myles Lewis-Skelly & a new signing. 🕵️♂️ [
