Former Manchester United defender, Mikaël Silvestre, has advised Brazilian winger, Gabriel Martinelli, to sign for another club next season if Arsenal eventually end their 22-year wait for the Premier League title this year.
After coming close in the last three seasons, the Gunners are in the driving seat to claim the English league trophy ahead of Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s men will, however, need to win their remaining league fixtures against Burnley and fellow London club, Crystal Palace.
Discussing Martinelli and his future at the club, Silvestre noted he either comes on at half-time or gets substituted, adding that “Leandro Trossard gets more game time than him”.

The Frenchman, who once played for Arsenal, suggested that it would be a good time for the Brazilian to leave the Emirates if his club ended up winning the English top-flight league.
“Gabriel Martinelli might be the Arsenal player who wants to trigger a transfer because of game-time,” Silvestre was quoted by Metro UK as telling Betpack.
“He wants to play and Leandro Trossard gets more game time than him.
“Leaving Arsenal after winning the Premier League would be good timing for him, maybe a good decision, but he needs to find the right place to go.”
