Al-Hilal has officially announced the signing of Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli. The deal, valued at a total of €70 million, marks the most expensive sale in the English champions' history. This surpasses the previous record held by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's transfer to Liverpool in 2017, which was around €40 million.
Martinelli's contract with Al-Hilal spans four seasons. He spent seven years at Arsenal, who acquired him from his boyhood club Ituano for approximately €7 million. Since then, the 25-year-old has made 278 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 62 goals and providing 36 assists. During his time with Arsenal, he won one Premier League title, one FA Cup, and one Community Shield. He also boasts 27 caps and 5 goals for the Brazilian national team.
Earlier this summer, Al-Hilal also secured two other attacking players from English clubs: winger Crysencio Summerville from West Ham and striker Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa.
