Arsenal set new asking price for Gabriel Martinelli

Arsenal have reportedly lowered their asking price for winger Gabriel Martinelli with the transfer window close to conclusion.

The Gunners have already signed a new left winger in Christos Tzolis, and he had a brilliant debut with two assists against Manchester City yesterday.

Despite this, the club are open to landing a marquee option on the left flank. For that to happen, Martinelli needs to be offloaded in the near future.

The Brazilian has already turned down a move to Galatasaray, but he is still attracting interest from several Serie A clubs at the current point.

AC Milan and Juventus are among his admirers, and it is claimed that Arsenal have lowered his valuation from £51 million to around £43 million.

Martinelli is not pushing to leave the Gunners, but the hierarchy believe an exit would be the right choice as the club seek a left-wing upgrade.

Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola remains a lucrative target for the Gunners, though Liverpool appear to be leading the race to recruit him.
