Al-Hilal approaches Arsenal for Gabriel Martinelli with £60m bid

Summary

Al-Hilal is currently in discussions with Arsenal regarding a transfer for winger Gabriel Martinelli, with the Gunners setting an asking price of £60m. Martinelli's playing time has diminished under Mikel Arteta, making just 11 league starts last season and missing the start of the current season. Arsenal appears willing to let the Brazilian leave, especially after securing Christos Tzolis as a left-wing option. While Galatasaray previously made a bid of €45m that was rejected, talks with Al-Hilal are ongoing, although no agreement has been finalized yet.
