Arsenal are looking to sign a high-potential hidden gem in the same way they recruited Gabriel Martinelli back in the summer of 2019.
That is according to The Athletic's James McNicholas, who has claimed that Mikel Arteta's side are looking to find the next Martinelli during the summer transfer window. "I think there might be young players who we sign, we might sign a 19 or 20-year-old who Mikel Arteta thinks the world of who could come into the first-team squad straight away", McNicholas told the Arsecast podcast.
"I think they’re looking at a couple of South American talents as they did last summer with Marquinhos, I think there are another two or three players of interest to Edu and his team that could be the new Martinelli potentially. One of those guys who gets a chance in pre-season and goes on and does well.”
