Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has raved about his teammate Alexandre Lacazette on the club’s official YouTube channel.

Martinelli has said that Lacazette is a top player, and that he is happy that the France international striker is part of the squad.

The 19-year-old Brazilian made the comments following Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Sheffield United away from home in the Premier League on Sunday.

Lacazette scored twice for the Gunners and Martinelli found the back of the net once, as Mikel Arteta’s side maintained their (slim) chances of finishing in the Premier League top four.

Martinelli said about Lacazette on Arsenal’s official YouTube channel: “He is so good as a player. He is a top player, but as a person, he is a top person as well. I am so happy to have him in our squad.”

Important player for Arsenal

Lacazette is a very good striker who scores goals and helps in build-up play, and the Frenchman has done well this season.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang not having the best of seasons, the Frenchman has stepped up his game and has come up with the goals.

According to WhoScored, the 29-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided two assists in 21 Premier League starts and has scored one goal in four Europa League starts for the Gunners so far this season.
