Danish football star, Mika Biereth has identified Arsenal striker as the standout performer in Arsenal’s training sessions, rating him above Bukayo Saka.
With one of the most formidable squads in Europe, Arsenal’s training environment is fiercely competitive. Despite limited opportunities to participate, young talent Biereth was deeply impressed by the skills of Arsenal’s Martinelli.
Having been acquired by Arsenal from Ituano in 2019 for a mere £6 million, Martinelli initially flew under the radar. However, he quickly made a name for himself with his sensational debut season at the Emirates Stadium, showcasing remarkable talent and potential.
Since then, Martinelli has continued to evolve and is now regarded as one of Europe’s most formidable wingers, capable of causing havoc for any opposing full-back.
Mika Biereth, who recently disclosed an encounter with Gabriel Magalhaes during training, has had the privilege of working alongside the likes of Martinelli, Saka, and other Arsenal talents. When asked to pinpoint the standout performer from these sessions at London Colney, Biereth wasted no time in singling out the 22-year-old Brazilian international.
“He’s incredibly quick and sharp in everything he does,” Biereth expressed to iNews regarding Martinelli.
While Gabriel Martinelli has already established himself as a prominent figure at Arsenal, Mika Biereth could potentially follow suit in the years to come.
The 21-year-old Danish talent showcased his potential during a loan spell at Motherwell, where he notched six goals and provided five assists in 14 starting appearances during the first half of the season. Subsequently, he was recalled and sent on loan to Sturm Graz in Austria, where his performance has been consistently impressive.
Since his debut, Biereth has amassed five goals and one assist for Sturm Graz in just over 500 minutes of playing time, a commendable achievement that underscores his burgeoning talent.
With continued development akin to his recent progress, it’s plausible to envision Biereth emerging as a future star at Arsenal in the ensuing years. Additionally, there’s a substantial likelihood that he will receive ample opportunities to shine in the upcoming season.
