In the victory, the Brazilian became the Arsenal’s youngest ever player to score and assist in a Premier League game against Liverpool.
Will Martinelli Stay At Arsenal?
Martinelli’s current contract, which he signed in 2019, has just under two years left on it, although Arsenal does have the option to extend it by an additional two years.
However, the club is aware that the young forward merits new terms, and discussions with his representation are currently taking place.
Martinelli, 21, responded strongly when questioned about his contract situation claiming that he wants to stay with Arsenal.
Following the game, he said: “Of course, I want to stay. We are talking. Let’s see what is going to happen. But I want to stay, of course.
