Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli Regains Form After Being Benched

Late on Wednesday evening, after a 4-0 victory over Everton, several Arsenal players paused to interact with fans before leaving the stadium. Oleksandr Zinchenko and William Saliba were among those who stopped to greet supporters. Saliba, who has gained popularity since returning from loan, signed a shirt with the name 'Martinelli 11' on it. Gabriel Martinelli, who scored twice in the match, has become a key player for Arsenal this season.

Martinelli, now 21, was once a young player trying to secure a move to Manchester United. Despite initial interest, United decided not to sign him. However, Martinelli's performance for Arsenal this season has raised questions about his potential as one of the most threatening wingers in the Premier League.

After a period of decreased form, Martinelli has recently regained his scoring touch, netting four goals in three appearances. His impact on the team has been significant, with crucial goals in recent matches. Alongside Bukayo Saka, who also has 10 goals this season, Martinelli has been instrumental in Arsenal's attacking success.

Arsenal's attacking strategy has been effective this season, with contributions from various players leading to 56 goals in 25 league games. The addition of Leandro Trossard has provided depth and versatility to the team's forward line, complementing Martinelli's style of play. Trossard's movement on the pitch has created space for Martinelli and Saka to exploit, resulting in key goals for the team.

The partnership between Martinelli and Trossard has been crucial in Arsenal's recent performances, reminiscent of their successful period earlier in the season. With the potential return of Gabriel Jesus, another Brazilian forward, the team looks to continue their attacking prowess. Additionally, Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Southampton's young midfielder Romeo Lavia, who is also being monitored by Chelsea.
