To the relief of every Arsenal fan out there, Gabriel Martinelli has confirmed that he is in talks with the club to extend his contract. The Brazilian was the star of the show as he played a crucial role in helping his side defeat Liverpool 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The 21-year-old scored a goal and provided an assist against Jurgen Klopp's men as he continued his fine start to the 2022/23 season. Martinelli has been a revelation since arriving from Ituano in 2019 for as little as £6million, becoming a real fan favourite thanks to his hunger and desire to excel in Arsenal colours.
Possessing skill, pace, energy and an incredible attitude, Martinelli has gone from strength to strength in north London, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young forwards not only in the Premier League but in the world. A number of impressive displays saw him receive his first call-up to the senior Brazil squad earlier this year, and you get the sense that this is just the beginning of a promising career.
