Martinelli/Arsenal
Gallas believes Martinelli needs more time.
Former Arsenal FC captain, William Gallas, has hailed the impact of Gabriel Martinelli for the Gunners this season, but warned that the Brazilian is not at Real Madrid’s level yet. Martinelli has scored six times in 10 Premier League matches this season with reports already linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
“I don’t think he’s good enough for Real Madrid yet. In football after two or three games, everyone is raving about that player, ‘he’s magnificent’ or ‘he’s a top-class player’ but no, calm down, let him have a great season to get to another level. He’s still young, he’s only 21. But if he goes step-by-step, he can go to a club like Real Madrid but right now he’s not ready.’’
Gallas
Though Gallas believes Martinellui is not ripe for the Spanish football heavyweights yet, he has warned Arsenal to extend his contract as soon as possible.
“I think Arsenal have to get that deal with Martinelli signed as quickly as possible. I’m sure he’s hearing so many things about him, like Real Madrid being interested. Sometimes the player can be confused. At the moment I think he’s playing well and Arsenal have to close that deal as soon as possible so he feels better in his mind.’’
Gallas
Martinelli’s contract with the Gunners will expire on June 30, 2024.
