Arsenal has had a terrific start to this season and there are a few players whose contributions have made that possible.
The Gunners are at the top of the league table and they have won all their matches in the Europa League so far.
This season is shaping up to become a successful one thanks to the likes of Gabriel Martinelli.
The Brazilian has matured into a player they need at all times and he is delivering the goods on the field consistently.
He frightens defenders, creates goals and scores some, which makes him a player they must keep.
But his current deal is running down and clubs are circling the Brazilian superstar.
Arsenal knows they will lose a top player if he leaves and they are now in talks to ensure he stays with them for the long term.
The Athletic reports they have opened talks with his entourage to get him on a new long-term deal.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Martinelli has been one of the finest players in the Premier League and we are happy to see him deliver for the club.
The Brazilian must be kept even if it means making him one of our biggest earners because he is worth every penny.

He seems to really enjoy being at Arsenal, but significant money can still turn a player’s head. His work rate is off the charts, and not a lot of wingers in the league track back as often as Martinelli.
I would rather see the club reward his efforts and success with increased wages (within reason that is) rather than shop for an unknown quantity as a replacement.
The question is how much do you pay him now at 21, because he is sure getting another raise when he hits his prime around 25. Easy as fans to spend someone else’s money, but have to consider wages reflective of his contribution to our success.
The market will dictates a lot of these salaries but £170 gran a week on five year contract plus a year opinion.
