Arsenal fans have credited their Brazilian striker Gabriel Martinelli after becoming the leading teenage goalscorer across the major leagues in Europe.
The Brazilian has scored three more goals than any youngster in Europe as he continues to leave his mark on the Premier League.
He scored a brace during their side’s exit from the Carabao Cup after drawing 5-5 after normal time but eventually lost 5-4 on penalties after Dani Ceballos saw his spot-kick saved.
Martinelli, 18, signed for the Gunners for an undisclosed fee during the summer and is producing the goods in the cup competitions.

Arsenal should extend Martinelli’s contract until 2030. Quadruple his salary and put a $300m release clause.
