Brazil national chief Juninho has been to London Colney to speak with Arsenal whiz Gabriel Martinelli.

O Globo says former Middlesbrough star Juninho made the trip to north London to speak to Martinelli, and he was met by Arsenal's technical director Edu Gaspar, who showed him around the training ground.

Martinelli is also eligible to play for Italy through his father, and Brazil are thought to be desperate to give him a senior cap and for him to commit his future to the nation.

He could be selected for the Olympics in Tokyo later this year, and he now has a decision to make on which country he wants to represent.

Martinell has represented Brazil U23s twice, but until he makes a competitive appearance for the senior squad he is still eligible to play for Italy.
