READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Martinelli has had a promising start to his Arsenal career, with four goals in five games so far this season. He has played off the left and through the middle, but is yet to nail down his best position.
At just 18, Martinelli still has plenty of time left ahead of him to develop and progress as a player, which will hopefully happen at The Emirates. Unai Emery will need, however, to hand him minutes or send him out on loan in order for him to hone his skills.
