'Arsenal to sell Gabriel Martinelli in January' - Fans react after Newcastle
Yesterday at 04:40 PM
Arsenal fans reacted after Gabriel Martinelli's first half performance against Newcastle by urging the club to sell him.
The Brazilian was given the nod to start in the Carabao Cup semi-final against Eddie Howe’s men but delivered a disappointing performance in the first-half.
The Magpies took the lead through Alexander Isak, a player Arsenal themselves are targeting.
Martinelli, meanwhile, squandered a crucial one-on-one opportunity just before the Swedish international opened the scoring to make it 1-0, with the situation compounded by Anthony Gordon’s second shortly after half time.
Frustrated fans took to social media to voice their displeasure, with some now calling for the club to cut their losses and sell the winger.
Arsenal fans have had enough of Gabriel Martinelli
Football Insider opinion
The North London club are growing concerned about the prospect of going five years without a trophy if they fail to win silverware this season.
Fans have already placed pressure on Mikel Arteta following poor league performances and a frustrating 1-1 draw against Brighton on 4 January.
Arsenal have been plagued by injuries this season, with Saka out for an extended period, but Martinelli has failed to step up in his absence.
The winger has started 21 of his 27 games across all competitions, scoring six goals and providing two assists. However, it's been an underwhelming season, and fans have grown increasingly frustrated with his performances.
Now, many supporters want the 23-year-old sold, with some blaming him for possibly costing the team the Carabao Cup trophy.
One fan remarked they “knew Martinelli wouldn't score” and suggested the club “sell him next season”. Another said he should be sold “tonight” and look to “sign Isak”.
In other news, Arsenal are weighing up a move for a Bayern Munich winger.
