GABRIEL MARTINELLI has revealed he wants to stay at Arsenal for his ‘whole life’ and help fire the club back into the Champions League.
The 20-year-old is a fan favourite at the Emirates and has started to show consistency this season.

The Gunners are currently sat sixth, two points off fourth place Manchester United with THREE games in hand.
He told ESPN Brasil: “We always want more.
“Of course, Arsenal are a giant team. If I can, I’ll stay here my whole life.
“I want to conquer things, I already said, I want to stay here and win titles, with this wonderful crowd, my teammates.
