Martin Odegaard lavishes praise on 'top talent' Gabriel Martinelli and insists 'everything will come' for the Arsenal forward despite not featuring for Mikel Arteta's side in six of their last eight Premier League games

Martin Odegaard believes Arsenal team-mate Gabriel Martinelli is 'one for the future' and urged the Brazilian to continue his hard work to force his way back into the side.

The 19-year-old has struggled for minutes this season after returning in December from a long-term knee injury that kept him sidelined for nine months following surgery.

Martinelli scored 10 goals in 26 appearances in his debut season for the club after joining from Ituano in 2019, but having featured in three straight Premier League games following his return from injury, he has since seen little game time.
