Despite still being on holiday, Gabriel Martinelli has still taken an opportunity to wear the new Arsenal home kit.
Gabriel Martinelli is one of several Arsenal players to have been afforded an extended holiday, as he took part in the latter stages at an international tournament this summer.
Martinelli’s Brazil and Arsenal teammate Gabriel Magalhaes has been using his extra time off to join his wife and daughter on a trip to Disneyland, Florida.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta is also in the United States currently, with a fairly makeshift Arsenal squad. The Gunners are on the other side of the Atlantic to take on three Premier League opponents in a series of friendly matches.
The North London club will first take on Bournemouth and Manchester United in Los Angeles, before facing Liverpool in Philadelphia. A number of promising talents from the Hale End academy have been included in the travelling group, and will be hoping for a chance to impress in these matches.
Meanwhile, Martinelli hasn’t been able to resist playing some football whilst on holiday.
Gabriel Martinelli dons new Arsenal kit for holiday kickabout
Martinelli recently took to Instagram to post a series of images of himself playing a casual football match with a group of friends, the majority of which were wearing Arsenal kits.
Martinelli himself was wearing the new home strip, which the Gunners will wear at the Emirates Stadium throughout the 2024/25 campaign.
The 23-year-old will be hoping to catch the eye in that kit this season. The attacker struggled to produce his best form last season, but remains a key figure in Arteta’s plans and boasts huge potential, and he will be desperate to get back to his best.
