Kevin Campbell has raved about Arsenal and Brazil international forward Gabriel Martinelli on Highbury Squad.

The former Arsenal striker has been impressed by how well Martinelli has done for the Gunners so far this season.

The pundit has noted how the 21-year-old has bounced back after getting dropped and how he has kicked on since then.

Martinelli has made 27 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season.

The 21-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided two assists in those games.

Campbell said about Martinelli: “He got dropped, he comes back in, and he has got the bit between his teeth.

“Against Aston Villa, we needed that win, he helped us get that win, and he has not stopped since then.

“Missed the penalty on Thursday, scores the first goal and was electric on Sunday. Incredible.

“21 years old. These guys, what are they going to be in two, three years? These guys are going to be special.”

HITC Verdict: Massive potential

In our view, Gabriel Martinelli is one of the best young players in the world and has massive potential.

The forward has established himself as a regular in the Arsenal starting lineup.

Like most young players, Martinelli does have games where he does not have the best of times, but we know that he is a superb footballer.

One of the main reasons why Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment and could win the title is because of the form and goals of Martinelli.

And he is only 21.

Martinelli is only going to improve and develop in the coming years.
