KSI takes on Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah in Arsenal training ground Prime challenge

Arsenal lead the way in the Premier League title race but have had their lead cut down to just three points. Manchester City closed the gap at the top of the table after the Gunners picked up just one point from their last two fixtures.

Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah have both been crucial figures for Mikel Arteta this season, particularly the latter given Gabriel Jesus' knee injury that has kept him out of action since the World Cup. Martinelli recently signed a new long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium as he continues to impress and develop into one of the best attackers in the division.

KSI, more commonly known as JJ or KSI, is a huge fan of the Gunners and was over the moon that his co-owned hydration business, Prime, agreed to become official partners of Arsenal. The English YouTube sensation and entertainment star recently took aim at north London rivals Tottenham during an event in Sydney, Australia with an infamous chant.

As part of the club's partnership with Prime, KSI led a training ground challenge with the likes of Martinelli and Nketiah at Arsenal's London Colney training complex. Reiss Nelson was present for the challenge that has been posted on the Gunners' social media channels as well as KSI's YouTube channel.

The challenge involved five separate drills including a crossbar challenge that saw Arsenal players, along with KSI, Simon (Miniminter) and ChrisMD attempt to knock bottles of Prime off the frame of the goal. Martinelli and Nketiah impressed with their finishing ability inside and outside of the penalty area, with the Arsenal team eventually finishing the challenge as the winners.

Arteta will hope that both forwards involved in the video can replicate their brilliant form in front of goal in the huge clash against City on Wednesday night.
