Arsenal forward, Gabriel Martinelli, is looking set to take control of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s role in the

group. He may even inherit the renowned no. 14 t-shirt from Aubameyang, according to Football London.

Martinelli speaking last February to ESPN Brazil, stated: “Of course, Auba is an incredible gamer. Not simply a player, an amazing individual.

“I ‘d like to follow in his steps, he’s captain of the team, wearing t-shirt 14, which is a sign of the club. I wish to have a bright future ahead at Arsenal.”

Martinelli presently uses the no. 35 shirt for the Gunners.

Arsenal handed midfielder Emile Smith Rowe the No. 10 shirt last summer, regardless of the weight of expectation following the magic of Dennis Bergkamp and Mesut Ozil.

Having actually played primarily on the left-wing, it appears the Brazilian youngster might now be thrust into the role of main striker on a more frequent basis.

Arteta has actually currently been dealing with fitting Martinelli to that mould, with Arsenal’s Dubai training camp seeing the child operating through the middle as well as on either flank.
