Gabriel Martinelli told two key areas he must improve amid Arsenal contract talks

Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has been told where he needs to improve as the Gunners continue their Premier League title challenge.

The Brazilian winger has been handed plenty of first-team opportunities so far this season following Emile Smith Rowe's injury struggles, with the Hale End graduate now set to be sidelined until the new year. Martinelli has registered six goal contributions in 11 appearances in all competitions so far this term as he continues to impress under Mikel Arteta.

The 21-year-old was sensational in the dramatic 3-2 win against Liverpool on Sunday, scoring the opening goal inside a minute before setting up Bukayo Saka's goal at the end of the first half. Arsenal are keen to tie the Brazilian down to a new long-term contract, and Martinelli himself is confident a deal can be agreed between the player and club.
