Arsenal Legend Criticises Treatment of Gabriel Martinelli

Ian Wright said Arsenal should have communicated better after Martinelli was left out again as the club considers selling the winger, who has one year left on his contract.

  • Ian Wright criticized Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta on Friday for excluding Gabriel Martinelli from the squad during the 3-0 win over Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium.
  • Arsenal are seeking to sell the 25-year-old winger before the summer transfer window closes, as Martinelli has only one year remaining on his contract.
  • Wright told Sky Sports the situation "makes me feel uncomfortable," emphasizing that Martinelli has consistently given "100 per cent" effort for the club.
  • Martinelli was previously omitted from the Community Shield squad against Manchester City last Sunday and rejected a £38 million transfer bid from Galatasaray last week.
  • With Christos Tzolis and Eberechi Eze receiving playing time on the wing, Arsenal's long-term plans for the Brazilian remain uncertain as the September 1 transfer deadline approaches.
