Gabriel Martinelli has completed a £60 million move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal after being frozen out of the Arsenal squad. The Brazilian winger posted a heartfelt farewell message to the Gunners, but conspicuously omitted manager Mikel Arteta following a reported rift between the pair.
Gabriel Martinelli has officially ended his seven-year association with Arsenal, completing a blockbuster £60m move to Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal. The Brazilian forward, who was a pivotal figure in the Gunners' recent Premier League title success, makes the switch after being frozen out of the first-team picture by Mikel Arteta at the start of the new campaign.
Arsenal are on the verge of securing their highest ever transfer fee as Gabriel Martinelli prepares to finalise a record-breaking £55 million switch to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. Mikel Arteta has acknowledged the ongoing situation as the Gunners prepare to bid farewell to a key figure from their recent title-challenging campaign before the transfer deadline.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has addressed the mounting speculation regarding a move for Julian Alvarez as the summer transfer window enters its frantic final stages. The Gunners boss also provided a significant update on the futures of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, both of whom appear increasingly likely to depart North London.
Arsenal legend Alan Smith has questioned the wisdom behind the Gunners' decision to potentially sanction a cut-price exit for Gabriel Martinelli this summer. As the Brazilian winger edges closer to a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal, Smith suggested that a £50m valuation significantly undervalues a player of his calibre in the modern market.
