PLAY ON‼️⚠️ As previously mentioned, Arsenal received several offers for Martinelli. The issue wasn't a lack of interest, Gabriel was initially unwilling to consider leaving or speak with interested clubs. That situation prompted Arsenal to take a firmer position, including freezing him out of the first-team picture. Arsenal's intention remains to bring in one or two attacking players before the deadline. More to follow
