The Brazilian will seek a move to leave the club at the end of this season. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-journey-of-gabriel-martinelli-at-arsenal\">Journey of Gabriel Martinelli at Arsenal<\/h2>\n<p>Gabriel Martinelli, 24-year-old forward currently plays for Arsenal F.C. in England. The Brazilian mostly operates as a left winger. Martinelli was signed from Brazilian side Ituano in 2019 for \u20ac7.1m. <\/p>\n<p>Gabriel had made his debut in  in 2019 itself against Newcastle. The Brazilian is a long servant for the London club. After leaving Brazil, the attacker has just won one FA Cup in 2019-20 season. Although he was not in the squad due to injury. Since joining Arsenal in 2019, Martinelli has scored 62 goals and provided 32 assists in all competitions, as per <a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/GJnhKmh8ziTtR130T\" id=\"https:\/\/share.google\/GJnhKmh8ziTtR130T\">Sofascore. <\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old started for the Gunners in the last match against Southampton in the FA Cup quarter final. They got eliminated from the competition by losing the match 2-1. In the Carabao Cup final, Mikel Arteta substituted him in the 82nd minute. He was unable to do anything in those dying minutes and eventually they lost the final. Recently, Gabriel has fallen down the pecking order of the manager after signing new players. So, there is a feeling that he is exploring options to leave in the coming summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-statistic-nbsp\">Key Statistic: <\/h2>\n<p>Gabriel Martinelli has scored 4 goals in 4 matches in FA Cup and 6 goals in 9 UCL matches while just scoring 1 goal in 25 Premier League games, as per Sofascore.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-144526 ewww_webp_lazy_load\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97.jpg\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97.jpg.webp\" srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97-600x338.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97.jpg\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-144526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-97-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-will-gabriel-martinelli-to-psg-really-happen\">Will Gabriel Martinelli to PSG really happen?<\/h2>\n<p>Martinelli is a  player who has the traits of pace and technical ability. He is also versatile in many attacking positions. For these characteristics, many clubs could make him a target. But this season, his playing time has been reduced a lot. This could mean that he will be allowed to end the relationship with this club after this season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mediafoot.net\/info-media-foot-le-psg-a-pris-des-renseignements-sur-gabriel-martinelli-arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As per reports<\/a>Paris Saint-Germain are heavily interested in Gabriel Martinelli. They believe that the Brazilian would improve their squad depth and quality as well. His work rate is worth appreciating. Currently, the left winger position at PSG is ruled by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue. It will be very unlikely that he gets to start many matches. The French club would expect him to produce performances immediately after his arrival. He could be versatile enough to play across variable positions in the final third. <\/p>\n<p>Gabriel has only one year left in his contract up to 2027. Clubs who will come to negotiate for him can get him for a cut short price. This is the year when Arsenal will try to offload him while getting some money and not letting him go as a free agent. The  can spend that money on signing their targets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-there-any-future-for-gabriel-martinelli-at-arsenal\">Is there any future for Gabriel Martinelli at Arsenal?<\/h2>\n<p>Martinelli trains hard and tries to prove his worth in every match to get more starts in Arsenal jersey. But this season might be the end. Mikel Arteta is more convinced with Leandro Trossard in that left wing position. If Arsenal can manage to go on to win the league title this season, this might be the best farewell for Martinelli. Winning the EPL title in his final season, is what he is aiming for.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Martinelli is still young and is not even in his prime. He still has alot of years left in his career. The forward can easily move to other big European clubs to take on new challenges. His exit will be the end of an era at Arsenal as he spent 7 years at Arsenal. We could see new, exciting players to play in the team after his departure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-box\" style=\"margin-top:40px;padding:25px;background: #ba0001;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;\">ENJOYED THIS STORY?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:20px;color:#fff;\">\n<p>                    Add Football Express as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-box\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<div class=\"fe-author-avatar\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3f9b59f153ef625a7e38dc112896cdd35b58db39a3e19e0efe5fb118a91488d4?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3f9b59f153ef625a7e38dc112896cdd35b58db39a3e19e0efe5fb118a91488d4?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3f9b59f153ef625a7e38dc112896cdd35b58db39a3e19e0efe5fb118a91488d4?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3f9b59f153ef625a7e38dc112896cdd35b58db39a3e19e0efe5fb118a91488d4?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\"\/>    <\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-content\">\n<h4 class=\"fe-author-name\" itemprop=\"name\">\n<p>                Subhabrata Pal<br \/>\n        <\/h4>\n<p class=\"fe-author-bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>                Subhabrata Pal is a junior football writer who has contributed articles covering key developments in football.
