Just 8 million euros spent by Gabriel Martinelli for London's Arsenal team this summer, becoming one of the most successful club signings in recent years. The 18-year-old forward has already scored 10 goals and made 3 assists in 21 games. Speaking to the English media, Ronaldinho said that G. Martinelli has similarities to the legendary Ronaldo Nazario. "We Brazilians are excited and cannot wait to see what the future holds," Ronaldinho said about G. Martinelli. "One thing is to have talent, and another thing is to have such confidence at 18. He reminds me of Ronaldo in his first season in Europe when he scored 30 goals. People then said, 'Who is this 18-year-old boy?' He always wanted to have the ball, run past opponents, and most importantly, was not afraid of neither players nor teams he had to play against. I think Martinelli has similar qualities. He just wants to get the ball and score goals. Ronaldo became the best player in the world - Martinelli has to aim for the same," added Ronaldinho.
