Who will sign? CBS: Arsenal is paying attention to Real Madrid attacker Rodrigo and does not intend to sell Martineli

July 1st CBS reported that Arsenal does not intend to sell Martinelli. Although some clubs in Bayern and Saudi Arabia are interested in the 24-year-old Brazilian player, Martinelli himself is not willing to consider going to the Saudi professional league at this time.

On the left wing, Arsenal is looking for a player who can perform well like Saka on the right wing. Martinelli has declined in the past two seasons, but he remains a very valuable player. His expected goals and assists combined for non-penalties are 0.49, which is a good stat for Premier League wingers. However, Arsenal has a higher goal and they want to find a player who can play a role in the critical moment.

Rodrigo is one of the main targets Arsenal is concerned about. The Brazil international appears to be marginalized at Real Madrid, especially after Alonso took over. If he chooses to leave the Bernabeu, Arsenal will be one of his potential next homes.

In evaluating other goals, Arsenal needs to consider how they work with Saka and Odegao. For example, Eze's data looks better than Martinelli, but Martinelli's diligence in off-ball is a big advantage. Martinelli's expected goal count per 100 touches was 0.68, while Eze's 0.56. These data show that Martinelli is very efficient on the offensive end.

Overall, Arsenal already has a very good winger Martinelli, but they need to find another player who can complement Saka. Rodrigo may be the ideal candidate for this position, but the final decision still needs to consider a variety of factors.
