EPL: He’s struggling, needs rest – Mikel Arteta told to drop Arsenal forward

 


GOAL journalist, Charles Watts, has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to drop Gabriel Martinelli following his display in the Gunners’ Premier League 3-1 defeat to Manchester City earlier this week.

Watts believes Martinelli is struggling, adding that the Brazilian needs rest.

According to him, Arteta should start Leandro Trossard ahead of Martinelli when Arsenal clash with Aston Villa in an away Premier League tie on Saturday afternoon.

“Martinelli as well, 4/10. I thought he really struggled and definitely needs to be brought out of the starting eleven this weekend,” Watts said on his YouTube channel.

“I think [Leandro] Trossard has to start this weekend to give Gabriel Martinelli a bit of a rest because he clearly needs it.”
