Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli won't rule out playing for Italy

Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli won't rule out committing to Italy.

Whilst he admits it his 'dream' to represent Brazil, he is keeping his options open at the moment.

Italy manager Roberto Mancini has not ruled out calling-up the Arsenal forward, and Martinelli told DAZN Brazil: "I am Brazilian and my dream, of course, is to play for Brazil.

"But I could also play for Italy and nothing has been decided. I haven't received a call from Brazil yet."

Martinelli has scored eight goals in 19 games across all competitions for the Gunners this season.
