Martinelli confirms new Arsenal contract talks

Impressive youngster Gabriel Martinelli has confirmed that new contract talks with Arsenal are well under way, after his stunning performance against long time admirers Liverpool last night. Martinelli grabbed a goal in the 3-2 win over the Anfield side, with the Brazilian winger catching the eye throughout.

The 21-year-old has been a revelation this season, as Arsenal top the league with 8 wins in 9 games, and Martinelli has been one of the best players of the season so far.

It is understood that the Brazilian youngster is ready to sign a new deal, and is already in talks with club director Edu regarding the new contract agreement.

“Of course, I want to stay,” he said. “We are talking. Let’s see what is going to happen. But I want to stay, of course

“I think it’s my best season here at Arsenal. I’m so happy for this moment.”

With Liverpool apparently considering a £90 million bid for Martinelli, Arsenal will want to move quickly to ensure that the starlet signs a new contract at the Emirates Stadium.
