The Gunners sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League after slipping to just a second defeat of the campaign away at Everton last weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s young side have defied the doubters as they hold a gap to reigning champions and pre-season favourites Manchester City.
The teams meet at the Emirates next week, after Arsenal host Brentford tomorrow, and captain Odegaard said: ‘We’re in the title race now. But there’s a long way to go and, trust me, no one is thinking about May yet.
‘It’s a cliche but we are taking it game by game, training session by training session. One piece at a time.’
Despite not wanting to get carried away, Odegaard believes Arsenal have proved themselves this season as he plans to remain in north London for years to come.
‘I will say this, though,’ he added. ‘If there’s anyone left who still doesn’t fully believe in this team, take it from me: there are no limits on what we can achieve.
‘No one can tell me otherwise. I’m so proud to be captain of this club and I feel like I’m going to be here a long time.’
