Darren Bent and Jermaine Jenas were Tottenham, Aston Villa and England teammates once upon a time.
But now, a debate on talkSPORT Drive regarding Martin Odegaard and James Maddison has divided them and has led them to place a bet that is sure to leave the eventual loser red faced.Jenas believes James Maddison will be superior to Martin Odegaard this season following his flying startFormer England international Jenas, who retired from football in 2014, joined talkSPORT to discuss last weekend's north London derby, which saw Arsenal and Tottenham face off in a feisty 2-2 draw.
Drive host and devoted Arsenal fan Bent was eager to get his old teammate's views on how the derby went down. When the conversation switched to James Maddison - who got two assists in the game at the Emirates - and his impact at Spurs since signing this summer, Bent asked what his view was on Maddison's Arsenal midfield counterpart, Martin Odegaard.
