Graham Potter’s Chelsea are interested in signing Gabriel Martinelli from Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, according to The Daily Mail.
The report has claimed that Arsenal forward Martinelli is attracting interest from top clubs in the Premier League.
Arsenal’s London and Premier League rivals Chelsea are reportedly monitoring the 21-year-old Brazil international forward, described as a “machine” by his Gunners teammate Gabriel Jesus on Instagram this weekend.
The Gunners reportedly want Martinelli to sign a new contract and commit his long-term future to the North London club.
Could Chelsea sign Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal?
In our view, Chelsea are unlikely to be able to sign Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal anytime soon.
Arsenal are a massive club and a global brand, just like Chelsea are.
And they are now on the up, with a top-four finish in the Premier League table very likely this season.
We do not think that the Gunners will sell Martinelli anytime soon.
The 21-year-old is one of the best young attacking players out there, and Arsenal will be fully aware of what he can achieve in the coming years.
The Brazil international forward has scored 14 goals and created 11 big chances in 65 Premier League appearances for Arsenal so far in his career.
