Former Arsenal defender, Mikael Silvestre, has suggested that forward Gabriel Martinelli should consider leaving the Gunners if manager Mikel Arteta guides the club to the Premier League title this season.

Silvestre explained that it would be a good time for the Brazilian international to leave Arteta’s side if the club ended up winning the English top-flight league.

Arteta’s side is in the driving seat to claim the Premier League as they just need to win their remaining two matches against Burnley and Crystal Palace.

“Gabriel Martinelli might be the Arsenal player who wants to trigger a transfer because of hame-time,” Silvestre was quoted by Metro UK as telling  Betpack.

“He wants to play and Leandro Trossard gets more game time than him.

“Leaving Arsenal after winning the Premier League would be good timing for him, maybe a good decision, but he needs to find the right place to go.”
