Mikel Arteta has described Gabriel Martinelli as a ‘critical player’ for Arsenal (PA Wire) Mikel Arteta insists Gabriel Martinelli has been a ‘critical player’ for Arsenal following his move to Al-Hilal. Martinelli joined Arsenal at the age of 18 and went on to score 62 goals in 278 appearances for the Gunners. However, Arsenal and Arteta received strong criticism over the handling of Martinelli’s exit, with Ian Wright accusing his former club of being ‘disrespectful’ to the Brazilian winger. ‘For him to be nowhere near it [the squad], it makes me feel sad for him,’ Wright said after Arsenal’s win over Coventry City last month.

The story ends and we wish him all the very best in a different one. This is part of football.’ Arteta was also about Arsenal’s failure to sign another left-sided attacking player to replace Martinelli. ‘These are just opinions,’ Arteta said. ‘The window is closed and I prefer to look at all the incredible things that we have in this squad and not to spend any more time on the things that are not part of us right now. That’s it and that’s my main responsibility.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
