Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta knows there's a big demand to start Gabi Martinelli.
The perception of many Arsenal fans is that Gabriel Martinelli should be given a run in the starting line-up.
Arteta said: “That I understand. That when the team is not winning enough football matches, we always look for someone else to do it.
David Luiz has been ruled out for a month with a knee injury
“I respect that and Gabi is doing really well.
“He is doing better every day, he is getting the right development.
“We have to be a little bit patient with him but he has a bright future at the club and he will have all the opportunities he needs to show how good he is and the career he can have with us.
“We need to be patient, though, because we cannot put six or seven young kids out there."
