Saudi club Al-Hilal have reached an agreement with Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli to sign him this summer, according to transfer news specialist Nicolo Schira.

Club: Arsenal
Schira clarified that, should the deal be completed, Martinelli will sign a contract until the summer of 2030.
The Brazilian international is set to earn approximately 20 million euros per year.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports reported that Al-Hilal are continuing negotiations with Arsenal regarding the transfer.
According to reports, Al-Hilal are willing to pay Arsenal 60 million euros to finalize the deal.
The 25-year-old winger has become open to a move to Al-Hilal after rejecting an offer from Turkey.
Reports indicate that Galatasaray made a strong push 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 in 30 matches, and has netted just 15 goals in his last 98 appearances in the competition.
Martinelli was absent from Arsenal's first Premier League match against Coventry City on Friday as he decides his future with the club.
Selling Martinelli without signing a replacement winger would leave Arsenal with limited options in the wide attacking positions.
Noni Madueke can play on both wings, while Christos Tzolis is expected to be deployed in various attacking roles, but Arteta may have to rely more heavily on Max Doohan.
It remains unclear whether the 16-year-old is ready to play a significant role for the first team next season.
