The father of Arsenal striker Gabriel Martinelli insists he's not eyeing a return home.

Despite his lack of Premier League minutes, the forward's father Joao has revealed he isn't considering quitting the Emirates just yet.

Martinelli's father told reporters when asked: "There is no chance of him going to Corinthians or any other Brazilian club!

"Since he came back from an injury, he's been playing a lot less than he would have liked. They even painted some proposals from Europe, but Arsenal has already warned that they will not release him.

"People like him a lot. Not only for what he plays, but also for his dedication. Martinelli is almost always the first to arrive for training and the last to leave."
