Arsenal already has their own Brazilian Ronaldo in the wings

Gabriel Martinelli has got a big future up ahead says former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell.

Former Arsenal hero Kevin Campbell compared Martinelli to Brazil’s Ronaldo saying he plays in a similar way like the El Phenomenon.

He thinks that the 19-year old has all it takes to be an Arsenal star.

The Brazilian attacker scored ten goals from 26 games in all competitions.

Martinelli suffered a knee injury back in March and underwent surgery and is now back in training.

“I think Martinelli is the one, I really do,” he told Football Insider.

“Martinelli was sensational when he came in last season.

“He is a real handful – strong, direct and reminds me of the Brazilian Ronaldo.

“The way that he picks up the ball and runs at goal is phenomenal.

“I am not saying that he is Ronaldo but he reminds me of him, especially with that goal he scored at Chelsea.

“[He’s got a] big future but I do not want to put too much pressure on him because he suffered that injury and he needs time to come back and get his feet under the table again, get comfortable and play games.

“Players tend to get long-term injuries and then come back and pick a niggle up somewhere else.

“He will need time to get back into the swing of things.”
