Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Martinelli SIGNS bumper contract, Caicedo’s agent BREAKS silence, Balogun Ligue 1 top scorer

GABRIEL MARTINELLI has signed a new contract which will keep him at Arsenal until 2027.

Martinelli, 21, has had an incredible rise to fame from the Brazilian lower league.

And the winger has been influential to the Gunners’ success story so far this season.

Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo’s agent Manuel Sierra has broken his silence on his client’s plea to join Arsenal in January.

Sierra explained that the opportunity for Caicedo “may not be repeated in life” following the Gunners’ failed attempt to land the Ecuadorian.

And he admitted to helping Caicedo draft the statement which revealed that he wanted out of Brighton.

Elsewhere, Hale End graduate Folarin Balogun continues to flourish on loan having scored his first professional hat-trick for French outfit Reims.

And Gabriel Jesus has continued to provide updates on his injury with the Brazilian now back on the grass.
