Arsenal fans are concerned that Gabriel Martinelli may be targeted by Liverpool, after Patrice Evra suggested that the Gunners were fortunate not to sign Arthur Melo in January.
Concerns have been raised about Gabriel Martinelli's future at Arsenal following another outstanding performance for the club.
The young Brazilian winger was one of the few bright spots in Liverpool's 2-0 Premier League loss on Wednesday night.
However, Jurgen Klopp's praise for the Arsenal winger has sparked fears among Gunners fans that the German may try to steal the winger from his rivals.
Following the latest performance of January target Arthur Melo, Patrice Evra has suggested that the Gunners escaped with a near-miss transfer. And Mikel Arteta has escaped punishment for his outburst about Arsenal's fixture congestion.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has heaped even more praise on Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli.
Arteta is not punished.
The Premier League will not punish Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for his complaints about the Gunners' fixture congestion.
Following Wednesday night's 2-0 loss to Liverpool, Arteta lashed out at his team's upcoming fixtures. Arsenal will now face Aston Villa in a lunchtime kick-off on Saturday before facing Chelsea and Manchester United in three days next month.
After Arsenal's loss to Liverpool, the manager went on a rant about fixture congestion, and the Premier League and FA's stance on the comments has now been revealed.
Missed transfer opportunity
Patrice Evra, a Premier League legend, believes Arsenal were fortunate not to sign Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo during the January transfer window.
The Gunners were widely reported to have pushed for the signing of the Brazilian in January but were unable to complete the deal due to a frustrating transfer window for Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu. And, while commentating on Italian television for the Champions League match between Juventus and Villarreal, Evra was harsh on Arthur.
The ex-Juventus player slammed the Brazilian's performance – and his criticism appears to imply that the Gunners escaped with a near-miss in the January transfer window.
Martinelli is concerned.
Piers Morgan, a famous Arsenal fan, has expressed concern that Gabriel Martinelli could be on his way to Liverpool after another impressive performance by the winger.
Despite a 2-0 loss to Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino on Wednesday night, Martinelli was a constant threat for the Gunners. Jurgen Klopp has previously expressed admiration for Arsenal's ace, and the Liverpool manager was full of praise for him following the match at the Emirates Stadium, raising fears that he could try to poach the youngster. i’m
