Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has signed a new contract with the club until 2027.

The 21-year-old's previous deal was set to expire at the end of next season, but in a big boost for Mikel Arteta's side he has agreed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the option for an additional year.

Martinelli has scored seven goals in 27 games for Arsenal this season.

The Brazil international, who featured for his country at the World Cup in Qatar, has 25 goals in 111 matches in all competitions since joining from Brazilian side Ituano in July 2019.

On Martinelli's new deal, Gunners sporting director Edu said: "It's great that Gabi has signed a new contract with us. The foundations of our squad continue to be built on young talent, so it's great that Gabi has signed a new contract.

"Gabi is still just 21, and a player with big ability and personality. He is an important part of our future and we're delighted that we have agreed a new contract."

Manager Arteta added: "We're delighted Gabi has signed a new long-term contract. Our supporters see his quality and energy every single time he puts on the shirt and he's the same every day in training, with his hard work and positive values.

"Gabi is still very young, so we know there's still much more to come from him and it's great that we'll be on this journey together. We're now excited to continue to develop his huge talent and look forward to seeing him perform with Arsenal in the years to come."
