Brazilian footballer Gabriel Martinelli is set to fly to Saudi Arabia for a medical to finalise his move to Al-Hilal. The £60 million fee makes him Arsenal's record sale, surpassing the £35 million Liverpool paid for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2017. Martinelli joined Arsenal in 2019 and became a regular under Mikel Arteta.
