Gabriel Martinelli's feelings on Arsenal's future are clear amid Jurgen Klopp praise

Jurgen Klopp might be Gabriel Martinelli's biggest fan, but the Brazilian isn't going anywhere and has made it clear he wants to stay at the Emirates for "his whole life."

The Liverpool boss has repeatedly singled out the Arsenal youngster in recent years and has called him a generational talent. That came to fruition on Wednesday night as he gave Trent Alexander-Arnold a torrid time despite the 2-0 defeat against the Reds. The England full-back struggled to deal with his pace and trickery the full night as Martinelli proved he is more than a match for one of the best players at his position.

There was a particular moment of brilliance in the second half when the youngster skipped past Alexander-Arnold before nutmegging Jordan Henderson as he almost set up a teammate in the box for an easy tap-in. And Klopp was full of praise for Martinelli after the game but defended Alexander-Arnold's performance against him.
