'He's too much': Hargreaves picks 'magician' in Arsenal team, not Jesus

HITC

i, to a magician. He said, “Martinelli is magic, he’s too much. Jordan Henderson can’t let him chop back on the inside like that. But Arsenal look like they have a lot more belief than they have had in previous years. 

, adding that he is fantastic. "I love the choice of him as the young captain. There are loads of players who you just want to go and watch play football. I think they are a really good watch.”

Martinelli and Odegaard have been crucial for the Gunners this season. The Brazilian, in particular, has contributed six goals in the Premier League so far.

Martinelli's goal for Arsenal against Liverpool could have been offside, here's why it stood

Arsenal's first goal against Liverpool on Sunday may have been offside, reports say. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring for the Gunners in a game they ultimately won 3-2.

However, it has been revealed that Bukayo Saka could have been offside leading up to Martinelli's goal. There was no flag from the assistant referee and no check from VAR, with the decision to award the goal given almost instantly and not overturned.

Multiple reports claim that Saka could not actually be picked up on any of the cameras to allow lines to be drawn on the pitch, to check if the forward was onside. The problem arose because none of the five cameras had an angle to pick up both the England star and defender Ben White, who made the pass, at the same time.

That made it impossible to check if the 21-year-old had gone beyond the final defender when White played the ball, and so the officials had to stick with the on field decision.

Only a camera on the halfway line could pick both players up, but that isn't one of the cameras that is used to pick up offsides, so no lines could have been drawn. VAR referee Darren England did look at the other five angles but as he couldn't pick up both players he had to stick with the on field decision.

Fabrizio Romano provides update on contract talks with Martinelli and Saka (reliability: 5 stars)

Arsenal are on course to tie down both Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka to new long-term contracts, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Gunners are 'in direct negotiations' to extend the Brazilian's deal and the 21-year-old is eager to stay. Talks have been 'ongoing for weeks'.

The Saka situation is the same with the Englishman not interested in leaving despite potential interest from elsewhere. Talks are 'ongoing since February'.

Arsenal's progress under Mikel Arteta has been cited as the biggest reason behind the youngster's eagerness to stay and continue their development at the Emirates.
