Chelsea are monitoring Gabriel Martinelli's contract situation at the Emirates Stadium as the Arsenal star enters the final two-years of his deal, according to reports. The 21-year-old has been central to much of Mikel Arteta's success at the Gunners, with his impressive displays said to be courting the attention of several Premier League clubs.
The Daily Mail state that the north London side's 'top-four rivals' have taken an interest in Martinelli in recent months amid growing uncertainty over the Brazil international's future at London Colney. And the Blues are believed to be among the clubs 'monitoring the winger's situation.
Martinelli has featured eight times for Arsenal in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards four goals. His spritely displays have guided the Gunners towards the making of a title charge, which has seen him be tipped to become 'one of the world's best'.
