Gabriel Martinelli believes Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is destined for a glittering coaching career that will leave its mark on football for future generations.
Martinelli credits Arteta for supporting him through his injury problems, giving him the chance to prove he can play in the Premier League and helping him fulfil his dream of a Brazil call-up.
The 20-year-old forward, named in Tite’s squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia, said: ‘He was there to support me when I got hurt. He is already a great coach, who works thinking of what modern football is like, giving us great advice.
