Gabriel Martinelli has been preparing for a big role change from Mikel Arteta. The Brazil forward has been taking the necessary steps to become Arsenal’s next starting striker.
It is imperative for the Gunners to sign a forward due to the shortages Arteta will face towards the end of the season. The north London side's disappointing 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace on Monday night also highlighted a lack of quality in that position as Lacazette struggled to carry the burden single-handedly.
Martinelli has been tipped to be Arsenal’s next striker having previously played in that role. And it now may be the perfect time for Arteta to give the youngster a chance in leading the line and be tasked with scoring the goals.
