Arsenal hero Robert Pires has been impressed by Gabriel Martinelli's form this season.

Pires is not surprised by Martinelli's impact on the Premier League leaders.

Pires told Apostagolos: “I wouldn't necessarily call it [Martinelli's form this season] a surprise, simply because he's incredibly talented and we've known that for a while."

“Now, like many of his teammates, he has made significant leaps forward this season.

“He has also become more consistent, although he can certainly continue to develop."
