17-year-old Brazilian striker Gabriel Martinelli has all but confirmed his summer move to Arsenal by following the club on social media micro-blogging platform Instagram.
The Ituano FC star is expected to be the first signing of the club’s incoming technical director Edu, and the North London club are understood to have agreed a £6.5 million fee with the Brazilian outfit, with formalities set to be completed in the coming days when he turns 18.
Martinelli is widely regarded back home as one to watch out for after ending the 2019 Campeonato Paulista as the club’s top scorer and emerging as the best newcomer.
