Joe Cole has raved about Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli on BT Sport 1 (2:44pm, November 27, 2021) after watching him in action against Newcastle United.
Arsenal forward Martinelli came on as a substitute against Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
And the Brazilian scored a wonderful goal.
It is certainly one of the best individual goals we have seen in the Premier League so far this season.
Arsenal won 2-0.
Gabriel Martinelli impresses v Newcastle
Former Chelsea and West Ham United star Cole has praised the 20-year-old and has said that he is a big fan of the youngster.
Cole said about Martinelli on BT Sport 1 (2:44pm, November 27, 2021): “I am a big fan of this guy as well.
“Martin (Keown) always sings his praises, and every time I watch him, he makes an impact.
“He is out of that sort of South American centre-forward, he hustles and bustles.”
Gabriel Martinelli is an Arsenal gem
Martinelli is a very young and promising forward who is rated very highly at Arsenal.
The 20-year-old has had injury problems, and there is also competition for places in the Arsenal team.
However, as we saw against Newcastle on Saturday, Martinelli is a classy player.
In our view, Martinelli is an Arsenal gem.
He will only flourish and get better at the North London club under Mikel Arteta in the coming years.
We should not forget that the forward is still only 20.
Arsenal are a young team, and manager Arteta will give chances to the Brazilian forward in the coming weeks and months.
