Former Arsenal captain Gilberto Silva feels Gabriel Martinelli is underrated in Brazil.

The striker is a first-choice for the Gunners.

But Gilberto told the Daily Star: “Yes, I believe he is underrated. I think there are always high expectations [for Brazilian footballers].

"But one of the reasons he's underrated is that he didn't play so much in Brazil before he joined Arsenal.

"He came here so young and did well. But he only played in a small club in Brazil, with less tradition compared to the other big clubs like Corinthians, Atletico Mineiro, Sao Paulo or Palmeiras, where Gabriel Jesus came from."
