Gabriel Martinelli has found form at a crucial point in the season, much to the delight of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. The Brazilian forward endured a difficult first half of the campaign, facing frequent criticism for underwhelming performances. However, in recent weeks, he has begun to rediscover his best football, emerging as a key figure in Arsenal’s push for a strong finish both in the Premier League and in Europe.
Martinelli’s resurgence could not have come at a better time. With the Gunners in the business end of the season, every member of the squad is expected to raise their performance levels, and the 23-year-old is doing just that. His dynamic style of play, willingness to take on defenders, and eye for goal have made him a constant threat to opposition backlines once again.
His performance in the 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town was a clear indication of his growing influence. Martinelli caused problems throughout the match, showcasing his pace, agility, and direct attacking instincts. With Arsenal needing to win to maintain pressure at the top of the table, the Brazilian’s contribution was both timely and vital.
Arteta has been full of praise for Martinelli’s attitude and recent displays. Speaking to Arsenal Media, the manager said:
“That’s great – I think he’s in very good form at the moment, full of confidence, looks really sharp as well and he’s arriving in very dangerous situations with very good timing which is good to see.”
Arteta’s comments underline the importance of Martinelli’s revival, particularly as Arsenal aim to maintain momentum across all competitions. With Champions League fixtures approaching and the league title race still mathematically open, the Gunners will rely heavily on their key attacking players.
Martinelli’s energy and determination can be infectious, and if he maintains this level of performance, he could play a decisive role in Arsenal’s end-of-season objectives. For the club and supporters alike, his return to form is a welcome boost at exactly the right moment.

There is no doubt of Martineli performance contributions to the Arsenal juggernaut.
Love his well taken team goal against the tractor boys, it would be so good if he could hear from a player as Luis Suarez to know exactly where he has been going wrong.
A very hard working player as most South American are, probably the exact moul of the Hungarian.
I have always loved Martinelli. Even when fans would make negative comments I kinda knew he would prive his critics wrong.
I also know that he can be converted into a striker as he has the pace of Theo Walcott and Thierry Henry.
We still need to get another LW for the sake of competition. But Martinelli is finding a VERY good moment to finally find some form!
Who really needs Nico Williams? 65M upfront and 300K per week?
I was critical of Martinelli earlier in the season, but to be fare to him he is certainly performing to a better level at the moment. Long may it continue.
