Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli is the latest guest on Ian Wright's podcast Wrighty's House, where the forward discussed a controversial moment in his career to date. The 21-year-old had a breakout season last year, contributing 12 goal involvements in 29 Premier League appearances.
A run in December 2021 saw him score four goals in six games, wreaking havoc for anyone who faced him. Mikel Arteta was full of praise for the Brazilian, saying: "He [Martinelli] trains incredibly hard, he is always willing to do more and he is not scared or afraid to take risks - and that is what I like about him.
"You cannot play every action at 100mph, it is impossible. It is not very efficient for you because you burn yourself out after a few minutes, and then you're just chasing a situation and not reading exactly what is needed. Gabi is doing much better at that. We have to try to do that without losing the passion, the energy and this capacity he has to just affect the game with the way he acts on the pitch."
