Brazil recall in-form Arsenal star Martinelli for November friendlies

Gunners forward has been in impressive form for Premier League leaders

Martinelli has scored four goals in his last five games for Arsenal

Brazil have handed Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli a recall to the national team for the upcoming international friendlies in November.

The 21-year-old has been in impressive form for the Premier League leaders this season, scoring four goals in his last five games.

Martinelli last featured for Brazil in March, when he made a substitute appearance in the 4-0 win over Chile.

He will be hoping to add to his three caps when Brazil face Ghana on September 23 and Tunisia on September 27.

Martinelli's recall is a reward for his fine form at club level. He has been one of Arsenal's standout performers this season, helping them to the top of the Premier League table.

The forward has scored seven goals in all competitions for Arsenal this season, including four in the Premier League.

Martinelli's form has also attracted the attention of other clubs, with Barcelona and Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing him.

However, Arsenal are keen to keep hold of the Brazilian and are reportedly in talks over a new contract.

Martinelli's recall to the Brazil squad is a sign of his growing reputation. He is now one of the most highly-rated young players in the world and is expected to have a big future for both club and country.
