Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has declared 18-year-old attacker Gabriel Martinelli will be a "superstar" after scoring in the club's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.

Martinelli moved to the Emirates in July last year from Brazilian club Ituano and hasn't wasted any time impressing his new fans and teammates.
