Gabriel Martinelli is quickly becoming a fan favourite at Arsenal - and the young Brazilian has another big supporter in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
With Aubameyang suspended following his red card against Crystal Palace, Martinelli was afforded a start in Saturday's Premier League clash against Sheffield United at Emirates Stadium in Saturday.
The 18-year-old Brazilian striker has made a big impression this season in the Europa League group stages, but impressed once again at the Emirates as he struck to put the Gunners a goal up against the Blades.
Martinelli was in the right place at the right time to tap home a deflected cross from Bukayo Saka, netting his ninth goal of the campaign.
Aubameyang was watching from the sidelines at the Emirates, and tweeted during the game: "Gabi’s gonna be a superstar; Not because of the Goal because of the attitude Energy and mindset".
Martinelli has drawn similar praise before, with compatriot David Luiz saying back in November: "I always say, talents, I have seen many, but great mentality, I didn’t see many. And who arrives far? It’s great mentality, not just talent.
"I’m not going to say to you about who is the most talented [at Arsenal], but the best mentality at the moment is Martinelli.
"He has a great mentality, especially because I know Brazilians at 18 years old.
"He’s a top guy, a top player, but what makes me more impressed is the mentality in the training ground, the way he reacts after he scores goals.
