Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli in talks with club over new contract

Gabriel Martinelli has confirmed he wants to stay at Arsenal and admitted after victory over Liverpool that Mikel Arteta‘s players are dreaming of the Premier League title.

Martinelli produced another extraordinary performance, scoring one goal and creating another, as Arsenal headed back to the top of table after a thrilling 3-2 win on Sunday.

The Brazilian, 21, has started all of Arsenal’s games this season and the club are working to tie him down to a new deal.

‘Of course, I want to stay. We are talking. Let’s see what is going to happen. But I want to stay, of course,’ Martinelli said.

‘I think it’s my best season here at Arsenal. I’m so happy for this moment.’

The 21-year-old has been a pivotal part of Arsenal’s brilliant start, which has seen them win eight of their first nine league games.

Arteta has refused to discuss a possible title charge but Martinelli said: ‘Of course we dream about it.’

The winger did, though, insist: ‘We leave that (talking about it) to the fans. We only think about the next game and trying to win.’
