Arsenal are reportedly looking to replace Gabriel Martinelli with one of Martin Odegaard’s international teammates.
The Gunners are hoping to get back to winning ways in their next game, which comes against Bournemouth in the Premier League. It comes after they managed to get a 1-0 lead in their Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP.
Arsenal will hope they go into summer with at least one trophy, being the Premier League, but they will also be keen to improve their squad regardless of how much success Mikel Arteta has this season.
Gabriel Martinelli‘s contract is due to expire at the end of next season, and Arsenal aren’t yet set on extending his deal, so they may decide to sell him, and sign a replacement in the summer transfer window.
