Arsenal's Martinelli joins Al-Hilal in £60m move
The Saudi Pro League club will pay £60 million and Arsenal will receive a future transfer percentage, sources told ESPN.
- On Thursday, Brazil winger Gabriel Martinelli completed his transfer from Arsenal to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal for an initial £60m, concluding his seven-year tenure with the Gunners.
- Manager Mikel Arteta informed Martinelli he was not part of his plans for this season, leaving him out of the Community Shield and recent matches against Coventry and Aston Villa.
- The £60m fee eclipses the £35m Arsenal received for Alex Oxlade Chamberlain's 2017 exit to Liverpool, while the move follows Leandro Trossard's departure to Besiktas.
- Arsenal recently signed Greece international Christos Tzolis to bolster the left flank, while the club maintains that Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, and Bukayo Saka possess versatility to cover the position.
- Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright told Sky Sports the treatment of Martinelli left him feeling "uncomfortable," claiming the 25-year-old deserved "more respect," while the Saudi Pro League deadline remains Sunday.
