Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli ‘looks like a steal’ and could become a ‘top tier talent’ at the Emirates Stadium after journalist Paul Brown has provided GIVEMESPORT with an update on the Brazilian’s future.

The winger came off the bench to bag a late winner as Mikel Arteta’s Gunners put down a marker by beating reigning Premier League champions Manchester City last weekend.

Arsenal latest news – Gabriel Martinelli

Arteta has admitted that Martinelli ignored advice from Arsenal’s medical team to make himself available for the clash with Manchester City, according to the Mirror, and his decision could turn out to be vital in the north Londoners’ quest for the title.

The 22-year-old, who missed the Premier League meetings with Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth after being forced onto the sidelines, replaced Leandro Trossard at half-time and sparked wild celebrations in the Emirates Stadium stands as his long-range strike deflected off Nathan Ake and into the back of the net in the final stages of the contest.

It allowed Martinelli to chalk up his first goal of the campaign and come back into the fray with a bang after being unable to feature since sustaining a hamstring injury during Arsenal’s narrow win over Everton last month.

The South American reacted to his productive return by claiming the victory over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has strengthened belief that the Gunners can be crowned this season’s Premier League champions.

Martinelli has been on Arsenal’s books since sealing a £6million switch from Brazilian side Ituano four years ago, and he has gone on to become a key member of Arteta’s squad.
