Gabriel Martinelli has admitted that, like many players, he tries to model his game on Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
Martinelli enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last season, netting six goals and six assists from just 21 Premier League starts, establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most exciting young attackers. The 21-year-old has also started this season in a similar fashion, scoring twice in three outings to help the Gunners climb to the top of the league table.
Now, the Brazilian international has revealed that he ranks Arsenal icon Henry as the best to ever grace the English top-flight before admitting that he tries to replicate some of the Frenchman's skills on the pitch. "I've met him before. He's a nice guy," Martinelli told Sky Sports when discussing the club's all-time leading goalscorer.
