With 48 days remaining until the Premier League kicks off, the countdown to another thrilling season is officially underway. For Arsenal fans, excitement is palpable, with a new campaign offering fresh hope of finally lifting the coveted title. And as the anticipation builds, one statistic stands out, mirroring the steady rise of a key player: Gabriel Martinelli.

The Brazilian winger has 48 Premier League goal involvements for Arsenal – a testament to his consistent progression since joining the club in 2019. His contribution has grown year on year, reflecting his development into a crucial cog in Mikel Arteta’s attacking machine.

Martinelli’s goal involvements per season tell a story: 3 in 2019/20, 3 in 2020/21, 12 in 2021/22, 20 in 2022/23, and 10 in 2023/24. This steady upward trajectory showcases his ability to adapt, learn, and grow alongside the team.

As Arsenal gear up for another title challenge, the importance of Martinelli’s contributions cannot be understated. His pace, trickery, and finishing prowess are essential elements of the Gunners’ attacking threat. With 48 days to go, fans will be hoping for a repeat of last season’s form, or even a further step up, from their Brazilian winger. If Martinelli can maintain his trajectory, Arsenal will be a formidable force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.
