Gabby Agbonlahor questions Arsenal decision to sell Gabriel Martinelli to Al Hilal

Former Aston Villa player Gabby Agbonlahor has publicly questioned the decision by Arsenal to transfer forward Gabriel Martinelli to Al Hilal this summer. The deal, which brought the highest fee ever received by the London club for an individual player, was finalized after the Gunners encouraged the 25-year-old to find a new team. Agbonlahor argued that Arsenal would have benefited from keeping the Brazilian as an attacking option, particularly during the club's recent match against Aston Villa. Martinelli previously rejected a transfer to Galatasaray before eventually accepting the move to the Saudi Pro League. Arsenal is now managing its current campaign without the depth and pace that the attacker previously provided to the squad.
