Ian Wright admits Gabriel Martinelli is "better than he thought he'd be" as the Arsenal star continues to flourish.
The Brazilian, who joined the Gunners as an unknown quantity back in 2019, has gone from strength to strength and is now a regular in the attack under Mikel Arteta. Martinelli has started every game for the north Londoners this term, scoring on five occasions as they establish themselves at the summit of the Premier League.
Martinelli has scored crucial goals in wins over Liverpool and Aston Villa as he continues to fulfil his potential. There have long been signs of his quality, but Wright has been surprised by the 21-year-old, who has surpassed the expectations he had.
