Ex-Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand has compared Arsenal forward, Gabriel Martinelli to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
This follows Martinelli’s fine start to the new campaign, where he has netted twice in two games.
The Gunners tried to sign Suarez in 2013 while he was still with the Reds.
However, Arsene Wenger’s £40,000,001 offer was turned down, while the Uruguayan scored 31 times in the Premier League as Liverpool narrowly missed out on winning the league, before moving to Barcelona.
“Martinelli, if he stays fit, this guy, I’ve told you this before what Arteta told me, he could be the next Suarez-type player,” Ferdinand said on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel.
Martinelli joined Arsenal from Ituano three years ago and scored 10 goals in all competitions in his first season.
