4. Gabriel Martinelli

From scoring a brace on his competitive debut to absolutely dumbfounding N’Golo Kante and running the length of the pitch to equalise against Chelsea, Gabriel Martinelli has been nothing short of impressive.

The young Brazilian is beginning to get the recognition he deserves from rival fans and rightly so. He has a killer mindset and this is shown on the pitch.

His main traits revolve around his speed and intelligence. You can often find him in the right place at the right time. Being a winger by trade, he tends to cut inside and get on the scoresheet.

If Arsenal can keep ahold of him, he’s surely going to be a world-beater for many years to come.

3. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Onto the Arsenal captain. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has really led by example as he tops Arsenal’s goal tally.

Aubameyang has provided many clutch moments for Arsenal, including in the Europa League match against Olympiacos which went to extra time (we won’t talk about what happened after that).

I for one hope that Arsenal keep ahold of Auba through the summer transfer window because replacing him could cost the Gunners a serious amount of cash.
