Completes Al-Hilal move
Martinelli completed a permanent transfer from Arsenal to Al-Hilal on Thursday.
Analysis: The Brazilian winger had been linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium for quite some time, and now the rumors have become a reality. Martinelli should be a regular starter, and presumably one of the best players, in the Saudi Pro League, whereas Arsenal will rely on Christos Tzolis to cover his place on the left side of the attack.
Future remains uncertain
Martinelli left Thursday's training session slightly earlier than some of his Arsenal teammates amid continued uncertainty surrounding his future at the club, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "Everybody knows and recognises how much we love Gabi. Whatever the outcome is, it will be because everybody agrees to that."
Analysis: Martinelli's situation remains unresolved ahead of the transfer deadline, with his early departure from Thursday's session coming amid speculation over a potential move away from Arsenal. Manager Mikel Arteta reiterated the club's appreciation for the winger but acknowledged that any decision regarding his future would need to suit all parties. Martinelli's status should therefore become clearer as the transfer window approaches its conclusion.
