Arsenal have been handed a major boost as football.london understands that Gabriel Martinelli has agreed a new contract to extend his stay at the club. The Brazilian is set to pen a four-and-a-half-year deal that will see him stay at the Emirates Stadium until at least 2027, having reached a breakthrough in talks.
"I want to stay they just need to give me a pen," Martinelli told reporters when asked about his contract in early November, hinting at his decision that would come. "I am very happy at Arsenal. I said it many times, I love to be here. I love the city, I love everything about Arsenal so I want to stay."
The 21-year-old has broken into the first-team over the previous few seasons, but has started to take his game to a new level this campaign. In 19 Premier League appearances, the winger has scored seven goals and assisted twice, becoming a consistent threat on the left.
