Gabriel Martinelli's new contract has gone down well - and Bukayo Saka should be rewarded next AFC
Darren Bent has hailed Arsenal’s decision to give Gabriel Martinelli a new contract but insisted Bukayo Saka must be next.Martinelli has agreed to a new deal at Arsenal, a deserved reward for his fine formFeaturing 110 times for the north London side, the 21-year-old is now regarded as a key man for Mikel Arteta’s side following Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s high-profile admiration of the star,
But while Martinelli deserves huge credit for earning his new deal, former Tottenham striker Bent believes that it’s obvious who should be next in line for a new deal.Speaking on talkSPORT Drive about Martinelli’s contract, Arsenal fan Bent said: “It’s really good, that. You’ve got to do it. “The next one is Saka, he’s the one that you need to tie down, but Martinelli has been phenomenal, he’s been brilliant.
“If you remember, there was a bit of a flirtation with Liverpool because Jurgen Klopp spoke highly of him and really liked him, but that’s fantastic news for Arsenal.” Few could argue that Saka is deserving of an improved contract given his incredible performances for both Arsenal and England over the last 12 months.
