Arsenal star Martin Odegaard poses for rare pics with dancer girlfriend Helene Spilling as they cuddle new puppy

ARSENAL captain Martin Odegaard posed with girlfriend Helene Spilling as they cuddled a puppy in photos shared on social media.

The couple went Instagram official last summer after dancer Helene embraced him on the pitch following the Gunners’ final game of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.

In June, they then shared a number of pictures together including them sunbathing and in the Emirates tunnel.

However, Odegaard has shared very few snaps of the couple together since then.

But Helene did post a series of images on Tuesday as they cosied up with a cute puppy.

One showed the pair holding the dog as they gave it some attention, with Odegaard and Helene also seen posing alone with the puppy.

The Norwegian midfielder was also snapped sitting on a bike in a park.

Spilling, 27, is two years older than Odegaard, 25, and it is unknown just how long the pair have been dating.

Helene is a dancer who has featured on “Skal vi Danse”, Norway’s version of Strictly Come Dancing.

She won the competition in 2021.

Helene currently has 135,000 followers on Instagram, regularly posting her dancing skills and pictures of herself enjoying life.

Meanwhile, Odegaard is enjoying life on the pitch after Arsenal claimed yet another convincing victory at the weekend.

Mikel Arteta’s men swatted Newcastle aside 4-1 on Saturday evening to claim a sixth successive Premier League win.

They are just two points adrift of table toppers Liverpool and one behind Manchester City.

Next up for Arsenal is a trip to bottom club Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Monday.
