Lawrenson suggests that taking the captaincy away from Odegaard could help him focus on his game and improve his overall performance.
He notes that Odegaard has had a decent but not outstanding season, with a rating of six out of ten.
Lawrenson compares this to Declan Rice, who has experience as a captain at West Ham and might not be affected by the added responsibility.
Lawrenson thinks giving the captaincy to Rice could allow Odegaard to concentrate on his skills and become a better player.
