Arsenal hero Martin Keown believes the club can build it's next team around Gabriel Martinelli.
The 18 year-old Brazilian scored a superb goal in last night's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.
"That young man, he has the club in the palm of his hands," Keown said.
"He can take it wherever he wants. He was the youngest player on the pitch out there for Arsenal and he showed the experienced players how it was done.
"I was here in '99 when Kanu scored three goals and that looked dead and buried tonight when they were 1-0 down.
"He really is absolutely outstanding. He was certain he was going to put it away (his goal).
"His instinct for goal, his movement off the ball, show me another 18-year-old in Europe doing this? Manchester United had him on trial and didn't take him… that raises questions."
