Reo-Coker praises Arsenal star Martinelli
Asked about the young Brazilian on Football Daily, : “I think Martinelli’s been absolutely sensational, he’s been a diamond find for Arsenal.
“If every club in that top 1% could find a Martinelli player who wants to play for a club and has no issues with signing new contracts, who’s not going to be distracted with maybe going to a Real Madrid or Barcelona and wants to stay at that club and appreciates it, every club will take him.
“He was sensational, he really was.”
Martinelli has been going from strength to strength in recent weeks, impressing even his opposition players.
Trent Alexander-Arnold praised him yesterday after struggling to deal with him on the wing.
Newcastle’s Jacob Murphy said he was ‘frightening’ when he last faced Martinelli.
As Reo-Coker said, Martinelli was happy to commit to Arsenal in February, .
That’s going to be a huge boost to Mikel Arteta, given how much better he could get throughout his career.
The Spaniard has created the perfect environment for young players to thrive and develop at The Emirates.
Martinelli has been one of the main beneficiaries, and his form could just lead Arsenal to an incredible Premier League title.
