Gabriel Martinelli success highlights Arsenal attacking dominance amid Mohamed Salah comparison

Arsenal have enjoyed an impressive start to the new Premier League season and their attack is dominating one key statistic compared to their rivals.

Gabriel Jesus signed from Manchester City in the summer transfer window after completing a £45million move to the Emirates Stadium, immediately settling in alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. Mikel Arteta's change in tactical system has seen the improvement in performance levels of many players with Martinelli proving to become a key player for the Spaniard.

The young Brazilian forward has registered six goal contributions in 14 appearances so far this season as he is enjoying a long-run of games in the first team, helped by the absence of Emile Smith Rowe who will be out of action until the new year. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for Martinelli ahead of the dramatic 3-2 win over the Reds, a game in which Martinelli grabbed a goal and an assist as the Gunners reinforced their Premier League title challenging credentials.
