Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has said on BBC Sport that he loves playing with his teammate Bukayo Saka.
Martinelli made the comments about Saka after Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Sunday afternoon.
Saka scored two goals for the Gunners in the London derby.
The 21-year-old England international forward also provided an assist in the Premier League game.
Martinelli scored for Arsenal against Palace as well.
The Gunners will now head into the international break eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Martinelli said: “Saka is a great guy not just him but the whole team. We are a family but Saka is a great guy and I just love to play with him.”
Top talent
In our view, Bukayo Saka is one of the best young forwards in the world and has been superb for Arsenal this season.
The 21-year-old plays consistently well and is simply brilliant to watch.
One of the main reason why Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment is the form and performances of Martinelli.
The Brazil international forward has scored 12 goals and given 10 assists in 28 Premier League appearances so far this season.
If Arsenal go on to win the Premier League title this season, then do not be surprised if Saka is named the best player in the division.
