The Athletic network reported that Saudi club Al-Hilal is seeking to sign Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal.

Club: Arsenal
The report added that no agreement has been reached yet, but negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing.
The report noted that Al-Hilal has not yet reached a final agreement with the 25-year-old winger.
Arsenal is reportedly seeking around £60 million, while Martinelli has become open to joining Al-Hilal after rejecting an offer from Turkey.
According to reports, Galatasaray had aggressively entered the race to secure the signing of Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli before the end of the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian player scored only one goal in the Premier League last season across 30 matches, and has netted just 15 goals in his last 98 appearances in the competition.
Selling Martinelli without signing a replacement winger would leave Arsenal with limited options in wide attacking positions.
Noni Madueke can play on both wings, while Christos Tzolis is expected to be utilized in multiple attacking roles, but Arteta may have to rely more heavily on Max Dowman.
It remains unclear whether the 16-year-old player is ready to take on an influential role with the first team during the upcoming season.
