Arsenal list Gabriel Martinelli for sale amid Bradley Barcola pursuit

Arsenal are prepared to listen to offers for Gabriel Martinelli as manager Mikel Arteta targets Paris St-Germain winger Bradley Barcola to bolster his attacking options.

The Brazilian forward struggled for consistency throughout the previous campaign.

He managed just one goal and four assists across 30 league appearances for the defending Premier League champions.

That underwhelming return has prompted the north London club to explore fresh options on the left flank.

Arteta reshapes forward line

Arteta has already begun overhauling his attack ahead of their title defence.

Leandro Trossard recently departed for Turkish giants Besiktas in a £15.3m deal.

The club have moved swiftly to replace the 31-year-old, with Christos Tzolis on the verge of finalising a £34m switch.

However, Arsenal missed out on primary target Morgan Rogers after Chelsea met Aston Villa’s £117m asking price.

Barcola identified as premium upgrade

Despite missing out on the Englishman, the Emirates hierarchy remain intent on securing a top-tier winger.

Reports from club insiders indicate that Martinelli is now firmly on the market.

He is for sale.

Offloading the £180,000-a-week attacker would create essential space and funds for Barcola.

The young winger recently impressed for France during a successful World Cup campaign under Didier Deschamps.

However, the dynamic attacker has struggled to cement a permanent starting role under Luis Enrique in Paris.

The French club’s own pursuit of Yan Diomande has left his long-term future at the Parc des Princes uncertain.

Securing the prospect could require a massive fee in the region of £112m.

Such a substantial investment underlines Arsenal’s determination to battle on all fronts next season.
