A retirement plan for Cristiano Ronaldo has been teased as Saudi Pro League officials reportedly line up 50 big-name players to join CR7 in the Middle East before the day comes for him to hang up his boots. More high-profile additions, such as Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes, will help the division to retain interest heading towards the 2034 World Cup.
Arsenal missed the chance to move nine points clear of second-placed Manchester City at the top of the Premier League as they played out an underwhelming goalless draw at lowly Nottingham Forest. Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli wasted excellent chances for Mikel Arteta's side as Forest more than matched the leaders, and while the Gunners widened the gap over their title rivals, they failed to take full advantage of City's earlier loss to Manchester United.
Arsenal booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 4-1 win over Championship side Portsmouth on Sunday afternoon. Gabriel Martinelli bagged an all-important hat-trick, while Andre Dozzell scored an own goal, as the Gunners survived an early scare to maintain their push for a first piece of silverware since winning the same competition six years ago.
Virgil van Dijk has defended his Liverpool team-mates from any questions of their reaction to a show of disrespect from Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli. The Gunners winger sparked uproar in the Reds camp when attempting to drag injured Conor Bradley off the field towards the end of a Premier League fixture at Emirates Stadium. An unsightly melee was sparked that featured players from both teams.
Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has avoided the threat of a retrospective ban from the Football Association following a controversial incident involving Liverpool defender Conor Bradley. The Brazilian was at the centre of a flashpoint during the heated 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium, but because the referee dealt with the matter on the pitch, no further disciplinary action will be taken.
Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has issued an apology to Liverpool defender Conor Bradley after seeing his actions towards the end of a Premier League clash at Emirates Stadium branded "absolutely disgraceful". Martinelli showed no sympathy for Bradley after the Northern Ireland international went down with an injury that ultimately led to him being removed on a stretcher - with the Gunners forward trying to drag his domestic rival off the pitch.
Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has come in for criticism after attempting to push Liverpool defender Conor Bradley off the pitch in the closing minutes of Thursday's Premier League draw with Liverpool at the Emirates. Martinelli tangled with Bradley after the 22-year-old went down and appeared to be in some distress. He was subsequently stretchered off the pitch and the fear is that he has sustained a serious injury.
Igor Thiago has topped Roberto Firmino, Gabriel Martinelli and Matheus Cunha to make Premier League history. The in-form Brentford striker is now the highest-scoring Brazilian in a single English top-flight campaign. He has taken his tally of goals in 2025-26 to 16, with his exploits coming as a surprise to many - including his own manager, Keith Andrews.
Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli explained how he helped fellow Brazilian Gabriel Jesus during his ACL recovery period. The Brazilian striker spent almost a year on the sidelines after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in January this year. After recovering from the injury, Jesus returned to action in the Champions League earlier this month against Club Brugge.
Noni Madueke has sent a stern warning to Arsenal's Champions League and Premier League rivals as the Gunners maintained their perfect European record with a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge. The forward stole the show with a devastating double, becoming the first player in the club’s history to score his first three goals in the Champions League. It is a rare feat that has vaulted him into the spotlight at a time when Mikel Arteta’s side are chasing silverware on multiple fronts.
It's fair to say that not even Arsenal fans were convinced by the club's decision to pay Chelsea £50 million for Noni Madueke during the summer transfer window - but it's starting to look like a masterstroke, with the winger having produced another stellar performance on the game's grandest stage in Wednesday's Champions League win over Club Brugge.
Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus have seen January exits mooted at Arsenal, but Nigel Winterburn has explained during an exclusive interview with GOAL why he expects both Brazilian forwards to remain at Emirates Stadium. Movement in the new year is to be expected, but Mikel Arteta has worked hard to assemble a squad that is back in contention for the Premier League title.
Arsenal are now the last team with a perfect Champions League record this season after they beat Bayern Munich 3-1 on Wednesday. The Gunners have recorded five wins from five and kept up their 100 percent start by ending that of the Germans' in the process. Jurrien Timber put Arsenal ahead in the first half, while Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli came off the bench to score.
Arsenal are prepared to entertain offers for four players in January provided the right offers comes in. The Gunners spent big over the summer, splashing the cash to land the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi. In a bid to balance the books, the Premier League leaders are prepared to trim their squad in the New Year despite battling on a number of fronts.
