Arsenal will have to overcome a difficult barrier in order to tie Gabriel Martinelli down to a new long-term contract. The Brazilian international is reportedly demanding a major wage increase after making an impressive start to the new season.
Martinelli has already found the net four times in the Premier League this season as Arsenal sit pretty at the top of the Premier League. He most recently helped the Gunners to a 3-2 win over Liverpool. The winger showed exactly what he can when given the space to operate against top opposition as he wreaked havoc all afternoon, ending the game with a goal and an assist.
"He's a great player," Mikel Arteta said after the match. "I think today he had an outstanding performance against a top defender and a top team, and he made a difference in the game as well as the other players. That's the next level, to step up in these games and make things happen to win it."
