Reiss Nelson did not feature for Arsenal last night, despite Unai Emery naming a young side for their Europa League game.
Nelson failed to feature for Arsenal last night, even though Unai Emery named a young team as his side beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0.
But Martinez has still seen enough from Nelson to suggest that the Arsenal youngster has an extremely bright future, just like Joe Willock.
“Willock, Nelson… if we help them settle in the team, they’ll probably be the best wingers in the league,” Martinez said.
If Martinez’s prediction does come true, then the Arsenal duo could go on to be worth hundreds of millions.
With the market inflated, young, exciting attackers are now commanding exorbitant fees.
Whether Nelson or Willock will be able to become permanent starters for Arsenal this season remains to be seen though.
The pair have both been handed chances in the Premier League by Emery this season, but are yet to really nail down a place in his starting line-up.
Willock did his chances no harm last night, as he scored Arsenal’s first goal in their win over Frankfurt.
