Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is planning to use youngster Gabriel Martinelli as a striker.

The youngster has often played on the left-wing for the Gunners this season.

However, the shortage of forward options since the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has prompted a rethink.

According to football.london, the Brazilian wants to play as a forward, and Arteta has been trying him as a no.9 in training.

Alexandre Lacazette is their senior striker, but he is out of contract in the summer, which gives an opportunity to Martinelli to seize the starting spot.
