Gabriel Martinelli (11)

Just hope this won't be another signing with the sole purpose to expand our brand like we did with Takuma Asano and Park-Chu-young.

The next wellington silva...

I'm not gonna lie, though this kid has got a reputation for being 'the next big thing', I've seen his videos and I really don't think he's all that.

Obviously I hope I'm wrong, and he turns out to fulfil the potential everyone thinks he has, but I just don't see anything special about him.

Should be announced in the coming days apparently

Videos I've seen remind me of a young RVP

[gooney]

He played in seria d in brazil....4th level. Watford signed a striker that is seen as the nr 1 talent in brazil for 2 milllion pound

[Angelito]

^ He'd potentially be our biggest asset. Of course, it could all go wrong like with Gabigol. But we have to think about the future as well.

If he clicks, he could be to us what Coutinho was for Liverpool. Not now though. 5 years down the road.

These are the signings we should be making.

[DiamondGooner]

We can't afford big signings so we're trying to poach them while they're young.

Now with Freddie in charge instead of Wenger hopefully we won't Wengerize them and we'll let them blossom.

But this major focus on premium youngsters just show's you where we're at .......... we're not going for a title or even top 4 next year.

I've completely lost faith in AFC, we're officially a Europa top 8 team.

Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli is joining us from Ituano Futebol Clube on a long-term contract.



Gabriel has made rapid progress during his short time at Ituano. Since making his debut in November 2017 aged just 16 years and nine months, the young forward scored 10 goals from his 34 appearances for the Sao Paulo-based club.

The 18-year-old’s development was also recently acknowledged by the Brazilian national team, with a call-up to the full squad for a training camp in May ahead of the Copa America.

Gabriel was voted as the 2019 Best Newcomer and also a member of the 2019 Team of the Year for the Campeonato Paulista - the football league for the state of Sao Paulo.

The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.

Gabriel will shortly join up with his new team mates for pre-season training.

[Dejan]

Hope he is any good.

Pedro Botelho says hi.

Do you think we will loan him out or is this another Guendouzi type signing where we give him first team action right away?

[Emeryates]

Some idea over what we signed
