Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has received a call-up to the Brazil squad for the World Cup.

The youngster, who primarily plays on the left-wing for the Gunners, is in Tite's 26-man squad for the tournament in Qatar.

With the World Cup set to get underway later this month, Martinelli will be hoping to impress enough to gain game time during the group stages and knockout rounds.

Arsenal and Brazilian team-mate Gabriel Jesus will also be in the squad, but the Gunners defender Gabriel misses out.

A surprise inclusion from Tite is veteran right-back Dani Alves, who is best known for his trophy-laden years spent at Barcelona.

On Martinelli, Tite said, “We like Martinelli aggressiveness. He's one of the top players at Arsenal, the first placed in the Premier League.

“He's good on 1v1, very rapid in transitions, he's been keeping a good level."
