Arsenal set £60m asking price to sell 25yo winger

Arsenal have set an asking price of £60 million to part ways with Gabriel Martinelli after learning of interest from Al-Hilal.

The Brazil international has been deemed surplus to requirements, and he is widely expected to depart before the transfer deadline on September 1.

Martinelli recently turned down a move to Turkey with Galatasaray, but he seems receptive to the idea of joining Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Hilal are close to agreeing on personal terms with the attacker, and they have also contacted the Gunners to try and finalise a transfer package.

Arsenal have set an asking price of £60m for the 25-year-old and talks are ongoing behind the scenes to find a suitable agreement very soon.

Martinelli is said to be frustrated by Arsenal's handling of his situation, but acknowledges that he may have to move on for regular game time.

The Brazilian has been left out of the matchday squad for the last two games alongside Gabriel Jesus, who is expected to be sold soon too.
