According to the French website “MediaFoot,” Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has recently been linked with a move to RB Leipzig.

The Bundesliga side see him as a possible replacement for Yan Diomande, who is highly sought after by top European clubs.

It is considered a certainty in the report that the 24-year-old will leave the Gunners, regardless if he wins the Premier League or not.

Playing time, in particular, is likely a key factor in the Brazilian's decision to transfer given he alternates between starting and coming off the bench.

In the Champions League, however, he has impressed for the North London outfit this campaign with six goals and one assist.

Meanwhile Atlético Madrid are also interested in the Brazilian international and could potentially be exchanged for Julian Alvarez.

Ligue 1 superpower Paris Saint-Germain has also supposedly even inquired about the terms of a potential transfer for Martinelli.
