Arsenal's transfer business has without a doubt taken a step in the right direction over recent years. The £27m splashed on Gabriel Magalhães and £30m spent on Martin Odegaard are both proving to be absolute steals. However, the best of the bunch may well be the £6m masterstroke that led to Gabriel Martinelli's arrival.
Joining from Brazilian club Ituano in 2019, the player arrived as a bit of an unknown. Despite this, it soon became clear why the Gunners were so keen on securing his signature before anyone else could.
Possessing flair, energy, skill, pace and confidence, Martinelli has blossomed into one of the club's finest young talents. The journey certainly hasn't been an easy one, with the Brazilian enduring struggles with injury and a lack of game time in patches, but his incredible mentality has ensured he's become better because of it.
