Bukayo Saka has done most of the heavy lifting in terms of attacking output at Arsenal over the past 12 months, so it’s about time the others stepped up this season.
The 23-year-old has the highest ceiling among all their other attackers, so Arsenal are sitting on a bit of a gold mine.
There are suggestions that Martinelli is Arsenal’s next number ten after Emile Smith Rowe’s departure to Fulham, which is another sign of how highly regarded he is at the club.
However, Micah Richards believes Sterling’s pace can move him ahead of Martinelli in the pecking order, so the Brazilian needs to recapture his best form to endear himself to the Gunners faithful once again.
