Gabriel Martinelli is delighted with his new deal with Arsenal.

The Brazil striker penned a new long-term deal this morning.

“I feel amazing, I'm really happy in getting the new contract," he told arsenal.com. “I want to do my best for the team and for the fans as well, to give back to them and make them proud.

“I've said it many times, I love everything about Arsenal. I love the city, I love my teammates, I love the fans, I love the club and I'm going to try my best for this football club."

Martinelli laughs when he reflects on how much things have changed since he first pitched up at London Colney.

“I remember I was so, so nervous and I couldn't speak one word of English!" he chuckled. “It's even worse because you couldn't even talk to the guys and I remember that I didn't understand anything the guys were saying to me.

“I remember when I got the shirt and I saw the badge, I was so proud and so happy. I still have that feeling when I wear it."

With the ink now dry on his new contract, the striker is now looking towards the future.

“We need to win trophies," he said when he outlined his aims for the next few years. “I think not just me but everyone in that dressing room wants to go to the games to win them, and for our fans.

“To them, I would just like to say thank you for all the support. They've been amazing with me this season. The atmosphere in the stadium this season has been unbelievable and I just want to say thank you. I will give 100 per cent every single day for this football club."
