Gabriel Martinelli sends Arsenal fans Twitter message ahead of Watford clash

Gabriel Martinelli has sent Arsenal fans a message on Twitter ahead of their Premier League clash against Watford on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners have been in fine form recently, winning seven of their last nine Premier League outings - a run that sees them just two-pointed behind Manchester United in the current standings, with the Red Devils having played three more times in the league.

Now, promising winger Martinelli has taken to social media to talk about carnival in Brazil but also adding that Mikel Arteta's side are gunning for three points when they travel to Vicarage Road this weekend.

His Tweet read: "Carnival for Brazilian people means energy, music, colour and fun. But for me it’s a nice steak and early to sleep!

"We are going again for more points on Sunday. Feliz Carnaval Brasil."

Martinelli has failed to hide the love he has for his Arsenal teammates in recent times, claiming that Arteta's dressing room is a family.

Speaking to The Athletic last week, he said: "We are a family. We do not just see it as we go to work and we play some football. It is more than that for us.

"We are all getting stronger together, on and off the pitch. We try and go for some meals together. In Dubai, during the mid-season training camp, we did a whole staff and team barbecue together, which was really nice.

"All the players are unbelievable to me. I love Emile [Smith Rowe] and [Bukayo] Saka; how they play, they are so smart, they read the game so quickly. Honestly, I love playing with them.

"Ben [White] and Aaron [Ramsdale] are really nice people and they try and speak to everyone. Ramsdale on the ball is unbelievable, he can put the ball wherever he wants."
