Galatasaray don approach Arsenal for their winger Gabriel Martinelli, as dem wan discuss di possibility of transfer before new season go start. Reports from Turkey tok say di Turkish champions don already submit around £34 million bid to sign di Brazilian.
But Arsenal don make am clear say dem no go gree sell Martinelli unless dem first sign new left-sided attacker. Earlier, Arsenal attempt ambitious move for Vinicius Junior, but Real Madrid don tie am down with new contract wey go keep am for six more seasons.
Martinelli no get better season last term, as im only score one Premier League goal for 30 appearances. Even with that, im still dey happy at di club for now. But im need regular first-team football to compete for top level.
Arsenal don already bring in Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge this summer for around £34 million. Di Greece international don become di main starter for left side during pre-season, and im score for im debut for di 4-1 victory over Girona. Im also provide assist for di match against Real Betis.
Di arrival of Tzolis, plus di news say Bruno Guimaraes don join Arsenal from Newcastle for £75 million, show say di club dey serious for recruitment. Guimaraes go join midfield wey already get Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, and plenty other stars.
Mikel Arteta talk for press conference after di win over Girona say dem expect more transfer movements. “We expect to have movements in di next few weeks, obviously. We no go sit down and dey look, we dey ambitious, we need to increase competition internally,” Arteta tok.
Galatasaray dey interested for Martinelli, but according to report from Gianluca Di Marzio, dem only go move if dem no fit sign Rafael Leão. If Galatasaray fit get Leão, then Martinelli go stay. But if Leão no gree, dem go chase Martinelli.
For Martinelli, move to Turkish league fit be better for im career, as im go get plenty game time wey im need for development. Im fit partner with Victor Osimhen for Galatasaray, and na good chance to get im form back.
