One youngster that has gone below the radar this season is Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal's new signing has been one of their standout performers despite not starting in many matches.

In only five starts for Unai Emery's side across all competitions, the Brazilian has scored an astonishing seven goals and provided an assist. He has proven to the fanbase that there is hope, and that they are not just a two-man attack with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

If one of their star strikers were to suffer an injury, then they have a more than worthy backup.

Martinelli is much more than just a goalscorer though. His versatility allows him to act as the provider too, and he often stuns the crowd with his ability to get the better of his opponents.

Martinelli is only 18 years old and already scoring goals for fun, so Arsenal have plenty of reasons to be hopeful.
