Arsenal central defender Gabriel has spoken highly of his teammate Gabriel Martinelli on Sky Sports.

Gabriel has said that Arsenal forward Martinelli has a lot of qualities.

The Brazilian defender believes that the 20-year-old is just starting and will explode soon.

Gabriel told Sky Sports about Martinelli: “He has many great traits in a player.

“I’m sure it’s just the beginning and he will make many Arsenal fans happy. And he will make us happy as well.”

Ready to explode

Martinelli is only 20 years of age, and clearly he is a player who is still developing and progressing.

However, the Brazilian forward seems ready to explode now.

We saw how well Martinelli was playing before his injury problems, and there are positive signs now that the 20-year-old is getting back to his best.

The Arsenal no. 35 has made seven starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season.

Martinelli has scored four goals and provided two assists in those matches.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang facing an uncertain future, Martinelli is getting his chances, and he is making the most of them.

Arsenal are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.

And, in our view, Martinelli, 20, will play a big role in that quest for Mikel Arteta’s side.

We think that the Brazilian has the potential to become a superstar for Arsenal.
