Despite losing to Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round, there was some positive news for Arsenal fans on Friday night with Gabriel Martinelli agreeing to commit his future to the club.
football.london understands that the Brazil international has agreed a new contract to extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium and all that remains is an official announcement that the four-and-a-half-year deal that is on the table has been penned.
This development comes as little surprise considering Martinelli's simple request from Arsenal: "I want to stay they just need to give me a pen," he revealed in early November. "I am very happy at Arsenal. I said it many times, I love to be here. I love the city, I love everything about Arsenal so I want to stay."
