Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly still interested in Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli as we could see outgoings at the Emirates Stadium this summer.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs in a long transfer news post on X, Arsenal have a number of exciting targets in attack, while they’re also working on offloading players.

Martinelli is one of those, with a move to Saudi Arabia seemingly an option, while Jacobs also mentioned doubts over Leandro Trossard’s future as we reported yesterday that the Belgian winger is in advanced talks over a move to Besiktas.

What could Arsenal’s squad look like next season?
