Gabriel Martinelli is enjoying his start to life with Arsenal.

The 18-year-old, signed from Ituano in the summer, made his Premier League bow against Newcastle on opening day.

"My adaptation has been the best possible," he said, via Sport Witness. "I had a strong pre-season where I was able to play a good role and showcase my qualities.

"I've arrived in a new place, with a different culture, another style of play and only with time and working day-to-day will I develop in the best way possible."

He added: "The coach is a great person, and I'm learning a lot from him on a daily basis," he added.

"I try to do my best in training so that, when I have the opportunity, to grasp it with everything.

"Edu is an exceptional guy, a great professional, victorious and who made history with the Arsenal shirt. We talked a lot when I arrived and, undoubtedly, having a person like him around motivates us more and more.

"I was received in the best way possible. Being very young, I got a little shy, because I only saw these players on television, on video games. But they welcomed me very well, making me feel at home and I try to learn from them on a daily basis."
