He also played 90 minutes in three top-flight games during the month, helping Arsenal to three successive draws.

At 18, the world really is at the feet of Martinelli.

He checked-in at the Emirates Stadium from Ituano who are based in Sao Paulo, costing the Gunners £6 million.

Arsenal fans are certainly enjoying watching the teenager in action and feel there is more to come.

Despite his tender years, Martinelli has shown the maturity to operate in more than one position.

He has played out wide and as a winger this season, although his best performances have come from a left-wing position.
