Gabriel Martinelli has been a rare shining light in what’s been a desperately disappointing season so far for Arsenal.
Little was expected when the 18-year-old arrived to little fanfare for £6million in the summer, but the teenager has impressed with nine goals in 20 appearances.
Despite Martinelli’s Gunners career having just started, however, club legend Ian Wright is ALREADY worried about losing the Brazilian forward.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “When you see him you can see there is a hunger and a determination about him. I’ve been in contact with him with texts and things, you can
see that all he wants to do is do well.
“He’s so hungry. I think it’s only Jadon Sancho as a teenager who has scored more goals than him in the top five leagues so he’s somebody that has definitely got
something in him.
“We’re lucky to have him and if he carries on improving the way he is, then it’s going to be very difficult to keep hold of him.

“If they can create chances, the way he moves into the box, he’s going to score goals and that is what we need to concentrate on with Arsenal, scoring more goals and
creating more chances.”
