Arsenal Technical Director Edu has responded to the post from Marquinhos on Instagram.

Marquinhos, who joined the Gunners from Sao Paulo in the summer transfer window, has posted his first message on Instagram as an Arsenal player.

The 19-year-old forward, who cost £3 million in transfer fees (Goal), is excited at the prospect of playing for the Gunners and is looking forward to the challenge.

In order to motivate the youngster, his Brazilian compatriot and Arsenal Technical Director Edu has responded to his Instagram post by writing a simple message.

When translated, it reads: “Let’s go.”

Marquinhos is one for the future for Arsenal

In our opinion, Arsenal forward Marquinhos is a player for the future and will not be expected to make an immediate impact on the first team.

After all, the Brazilian has only just arrived at Arsenal, and he is 19.

Yes, the teenager has played first-team games for Sao Paulo, but the Premier League is at a whole new level.

We think that Marquinhos will train with the Arsenal first-team squad and play for the North London club’s youth side.

Now, of course, the forward could get chances for the Arsenal senior side in cup games next season.

Arsenal are also in the UEFA Europa League, so there is a chance that Marquinhos could get some playing time there.
