Aubameyang: Martinelli deserves credit for his Arsenal impact

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes Gabriel Martinelli deserves praise, given the forward’s form for Arsenal this season.

The Brazilian youngster has hit the ground running since his summer move from Ituano, scoring seven goals to be ranked as the Gunners’ second-top scorer so far, behind the Gabon international.

The 18-year-old provided the assist for Aubameyang’s opener in their 2-1 Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday and has three goals in the tournament to date this campaign.
