Arsenal star Takehiro Tomiyasu has admitted that he would hate to come up against teammate Gabriel Martinelli as part of an opposition team. It comes after a a breakout campaign so far for the Brazilian, who has begun to add end product to his already tricky skillset.
The 21-year-old has managed nine goal involvements in 19 Premier League appearances so far this season, making the left-wing position his own. It then comes as a major boost that football.london understands that Martinelli has agreed a new contract that will take his stay until 2027.
“What he deserves is clear, his hunger, his determination, his love for this game and you don’t know where he is going to reach," Mikel Arteta said earlier this season in praise of the forward's performances. "He’s always asking and willing for more.”
