If Mikel Arteta’s cold shoulder wasn’t enough of an incentive, Gabriel Martinelli has been reportedly offered an annual salary in excess of $16.4 million (£12 million) to leave Arsenal and join Al Hilal.
Martinelli has been ushered toward the Emirates exit door by the Gunners with a few not-so-subtle hints from Arteta, who has not picked the Brazilian in a competitive fixture this season despite his continued involvement in first-team training. The message has been clear, but Martinelli still reportedly rebuffed advances from Galatasaray before his precarious position was really rammed home in recent days.
