Arsenal youngster Mika Biereth has named Gabriel Martinelli as the best player in training due to the winger’s speed and sharpness.

The Brazilian international has once again starred for the Gunners this season after enjoying a breakout term last year, with Martinelli scoring eight goals and assisting another five in all competitions.

For the likes of Biereth, the 22-year-old forward is the ideal player to learn from in training, with the Danish youth international taking in the right lessons having thrived this year out on loan.

And speaking to iNews, Biereth has now named Martinelli as the best Arsenal player in training, with the 21-year-old striker saying: “He’s just so quick and so sharp with everything that he does.”

With Biereth impressing out on his second loan spell of the season with Sturm Graz, it’s no real wonder why the forward has named Martinelli as his choice for best player in Arsenal training.

Indeed, the Danish youth international is keen to take his game to the next level, with performances this season showing a player who could be ready for top European football in the years to come.

And taking the right lessons from an attacker as productive and as deadly as Martinelli is a step in the right direction for Biereth, who could become a star in the upcoming seasons.

Biereth is one of many Arsenal youngsters who face a big summer this year in terms of their future and where there place likes in the senior team with the Gunners.

Having not yet broken into Mikel Arteta’s plans, all signs seem to suggest that Biereth will be off this summer, especially with the attacker thriving out on loan in the Austrian Bundesliga.

And with Arsenal in need of meeting FFP and PSR demands, offloading an academy graduate for a good fee could be an appealing prospect for the Gunners, with Biereth clearly good enough to make it on his own in the world.
