Martinelli leaves Arsenal after seven years at the club.
The Brazilian made 278 appearances in all competitions, scoring 62 goals.
He leaves as a Premier League champion.
Martinelli gave Arsenal some incredible moments. The noise and celebrations when he scored that late winner against City at the Emirates in 2023, the bedlam in the away end at Stamford Bridge and last season’s equaliser against City. But that moment in the Bernabeu, for anyone who was lucky enough to be there, was so, so special. As was what followed afterwards. His chant rung through the streets of Madrid all night after that game.
A superb servant to the club, who gave everything while he was here. He felt like an honorary Hale End graduate.
Hope he gets the chance to come back to the Emirates at some point.
🔴⚪ Never in my lifetime did I think Real Madrid fans would use Arsenal as a yardstick to measure their own strength ahead of a Champions League campaign. Real Madrid. The most decorated club in the history of the competition, treating us like the test.
Before the draw this morning, Barcelona fans were actually hoping to get us. Not to avoid us, to get us. Because facing Arsenal would tell them everything they need to know about whether they can actually compete for this thing or not. Omo.
If someone told me in 2014 that Bayern Munich fans would one day see Arsenal as a tough opponent, I would not have believed them. Ah swear. Those were the years Bayern were putting five past us like it was a Sunday league mismatch. 5-1. Three different times. That was our relationship with "big" European teams back then, we were the appetizer.
Many many clubs now see us as the team to beat.
I feel like crying right now.
I don't know wha to say, I just want to say, Thank you Arteta. You really did pull us out of the trenches, season by season, painful near-miss by painful near-miss, until the same clubs that used to look past us started looking over their shoulder instead.
We're still here. We're still building. And apparently, everybody else is watching to see how far.
COYG. Always. 🔴⚪
Well deserved 👏

Our team, our local program partners, and every operational partner who helps make this program possible each month are heartbroken at the loss of our founder, Dolly Parton. (cont.)
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
The best CB on the planet plays for Arsenal. Collecting POTY’s like they are nothing. He is so so so clear. Rivals watch with admiration and say “fairs”
Criminally under appreciated due to his reserved nature. Most talented player we had since #14.
Most CB’s dream of his floor
Myles Lewis-Skelly was only 18, at the Bernabéu, shouting “VAMOS!” at Real Madrid fans after absolutely cooking them 🔥
This kid is an absolute menace! 😮💨
