Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has been one of the shining lights of the Gunners rapid rise to the top of the Premier League after 14 games. The 21-year-old has five goals and two assists which has seen him form a lethal front four with Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka.
The performances of Martinelli saw him earn a World Cup call up to the Brazil squad where he played the final few minutes of their win over Serbia. Martinelli was then an unused substitute in the victory that secured qualification to the knockout stages against Switzerland.
Tite's side face Cameroon in their final group game and with qualification already secured, Martinelli and his Arsenal team-mate Jesus have a good chance of starting the fixture.

Understandably, following their performances in Mikel Arteta's side, top European clubs are sniffing around certain members of the Gunners attacking quartet with Saka catching the eye of Premier League champions Manchester City and European champions Real Madrid.
Saka's contract expires in 2024 and with interest from elsewhere emerging following an excellent 2021/22 season, football.london understood that the Gunners had made extending the current deal of the youngster a key priority ahead of the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile Martinelli, who will also see his contract come to an end in 2024, dropped a huge hint on his future with the suggestion he is ready to begin negotiations and is waiting for Arsenal to start formal talks.
However, the Brazilian forward could be tempted by a lucrative move elsewhere following a report by CalcioMercato that reveals French giants Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Martinelli.
The report also includes that PSG, who employ several of the best attackers in the world, including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, will consider paying up to €60million (£51.8m) for Martinelli, who joined the club for £6million in 2019.
While PSG do currently have the services of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, the future surrounding the trio is unclear. Messi's contract expires in the summer and interest in acquiring the services of arguably the greatest footballer of the last decade is understandably high with Inter Miami in talks.
Mbappe recently signed a new deal with the Parisians but there still seems to be some unrest regarding his state of mind at PSG and with his current employers eyeing up a possible deal for Martinelli, Edu could mark his new role with the transfer deal of the decade by bringing Mbappe to north London as Arteta continues to build an exciting, young and hungry squad.
