Tomiyasu Warns Premier League Fullbacks About This Arsenal Star
For many Arsenal fans, the fact that Arsenal only paid £6 million for Gabriel Martinelli remains a mystery. Interestingly, this was after the likes of Barcelona and Manchester United turned down the opportunity to recruit him.
Martinelli has gradually established himself as Arsenal’s starting left winger. Mikel Arteta was initially hesitant to play him, but after trying him out in November 2021, he hasn’t looked back.If you think Martinelli’s outstanding performances on Arsenal’s left wing are only appreciated by fans, you’re wrong; his teammates do as well.
Tomiyasu has just admitted what many fullbacks who’ve faced Martinelli this term would easily admit. When asked which Arsenal forward is the hardest to deal with, he replied: “Gabriel Martinelli,” Martinelli revealed to Goal.com. “He won’t ever stop.
“He has pace, animosity. He’s as yet youthful, however when he has the ball he needs to have the effect, he believes that should follow through with something.”
Martinelli has gradually established himself as an important part of Arteta’s project, with 7 goals and 2 assists in the league this season. Mikel Arteta arrived with the right tactics, which the Brazilian is easily implementing on the left side of Arsenal’s attack, giving right-backs nightmares.
There is no way to discuss Arsenal’s strong start to the season without mentioning Martinelli’s contribution.

When martinelli was on the bench when lacazette and aubameyang were playing,I was hoping ,wishing arteta would play him all the time with aubameyang, martinelli to me is like a young Cristiano Ronaldo, same type of players but martinelli is still developing in to a super star and I hope he forever is a gunner ,as I’d hate to lose him ,it would be a miss in the team, his game against Liverpool when it was like 7-7 or something mind and ozil done the back heel for martinelli to score again that game was one of my faves ,was a cup game I’m sure and his goal when he run through the Chelsea team to finish off nicely made me think of Dennis Bergkamp but alot faster , what players we have had in my 35 years of being a arsenal supporter omg the invincible , say no more , also Wenger has gave arteta little tips on his career which has helped massive.
Same here, for any reason at all I don’t want to lose that dude
