Edu said about Martinelli: “It’s great that Gabi has signed a new contract with us. The foundations of our squad continue to be built on young talent, so it’s great that Gabi has signed a new contract.
“Gabi is still just 21, and a player with big ability and personality. He is an important part of our future and we’re delighted that we have agreed a new contract.”
Brilliant news for Arsenal fans
In our view, Gabriel Martinelli signing a new contract with Arsenal is excellent news for the fans.
The Brazilian has established himself as an important player for the Gunners, and it is very good to see the North London club rewarding him for his impressive performances.
As they should.
Martinelli is one of the best young forwards around, and while there was never any risk of the Brazilian leaving anytime soon, that Arsenal have decided to hand him a new deal will tell him how much they value him.
The Gunners are aiming to win the Premier League title this season.
Martinelli is a big player in that quest.
Arsenal are also still in the UEFA Europa League.
