Gabriel Martinelli that Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta will win ‘lots of titles’ throughout his managerial career.

Under the Spaniard, Arsenal are looking good to get back into the Champions League this season after six years out of Europe’s elite competition.

The Gunners are fourth in the Premier League standings and three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham, who have played one game more.

In other words, the cushion is potentially seven points and, with 10 Premier League outings to go, it firmly puts Arteta’s outfit in the driving seat.

Martinelli has blossomed into an excellent player for the North Londoners under Arteta, having shown a lot of promise during Unai Emery’s reign at the Emirates Stadium after joining for £6 million in 2019.

And the 20-year-old Brazilian sensation is certain that his boss will be one of those managers who goes on to win the game’s biggest prizes.

He told The Daily Mail: “He was there to support me when I got hurt. He is already a great coach, who works thinking of what modern football is like, giving us great advice. He is also a nice person, always treating people well. I feel Arteta will be one of those lifelong coaches with lots of titles to their name and their place in football history.”

Speculation has been mounting in recent weeks that Arsenal will be extending the Spaniard’s contract in North London.

Arteta, who’s earning around £96,000 per week, is in line for a bumper pay rise – and definitely if he gets the Gunners back into the Champions League which, as mentioned, he absolutely should.

From this point, finishing fifth or lower would represent failure for an Arsenal outfit that spent more than anyone in Europe during the summer of 2021.

And with Arteta’s troops not having any European games as a distraction this season, that, combined with their expenditure, means that fourth is a minimum – particularly from this advantage.
