Arsenal legend, Gilberto Silva has come out to reveal his excitement about the progress of club striker, Gabriel Martinelli.
Silva recently revealed that he is pleased that Arsenal have Brazilian players despite the fact that most players from that country have not served the club well in recent past.
According to him, Martinelli is proving to be a promising youngster not just for Arsenal, but also for Brazilian football.
He added that the youngster has done very well and showed his bravery thus far on the football pitch.
His words, “I’m pleased that Arsenal have Brazilian players. I think it’s fantastic after some of the Brazilian players that followed us not quite hitting the heights but now Martinelli and David [Luiz] are at the club,”
“David made the transition from a rival [Chelsea] and joined Arsenal, a club that needs no introduction.
“Then you have Martinelli, a promising youngster not just for Arsenal, but he’s being talked about in Brazilian football and he made a very good start. He’s doing well and shown his bravery.
“He wore the Arsenal shirt as if he were still playing with his friends at his previous club. I’m pleased that Arsenal managed to get the deal done and he’s in a good position to follow in the footsteps of all the Brazilian players that Arsenal have had.”
