Arsenal Set to Give Gabriel Martinelli New Deal

Arsenal are ready to hand forward Gabriel Martinelli a new long-term deal, reports Calciomercato.

The 21-year-old’s contract at Emirates Stadium still has two more years on it, but he has impressed enough since joining from Brazilian side Ituano in 2018 to merit a new deal.

Martinelli has become one of Mikel Arteta’s key players since the manager took over in 2019, with the Brazil international deployed on the left as well as in a striker role, with his dribbling ability seeing many Premier League defenders struggle to contend with him when isolated in situations.

And after Arsenal secured the £45m signing of his compatriot Gabriel Jesus from Man City this summer, it looks as though they have identified Martinelli as a long-term part of Arteta’s project. He has scored three goals in six Premier League games this season.
