These Liverpool fans discuss being linked with Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli as Football Insider has reported an interest.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool have set their sights on Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli. The 18-year-old has played 13 Premier League matches, scoring three times in these outings.
The rumours were relayed to these Reds fans via a number of different fan sites on Twitter, which was met with mixed reactions from the Anfield supporters.
Here are some of the comments from the Liverpool fans on Twitter:
Will Gabriel Martinelli join Liverpool in January?
Yes
No
This is some dream – taking Arsenals best prospect in years would be some statement of the power shift. I don’t think this happens

Klopp said after the League Cup game Martinelli is going to be a generational talent so If this is true I’m not suprised. I really hope this comes true as he’s far ahead of Brewster and will settle in quickly as we have the best Brazilians in the world to mentor him

What Do We Think?
This deal does seem pretty unlikely, as it would be very surprising to see Arsenal hand over a young 18-year-old to Liverpool. Gabriel Martinelli might fancy the switch, with Liverpool currently top of the Premier League there could be some silverware up for grabs.
Indeed, with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino currently leading the Reds’ attack, it remains to be seen as to where he’d fit in right now, with Harvey Elliott coming up through the ranks as well.
