Gabriel Martinelli has left Arsenal fans in disbelief after naming himself as the second fastest player at the club, with Scotland international Kieran Tierney taking the top spot. Martinelli, known for his blistering pace and impressive performances on the left wing, made the surprising revelation during an interview with the club’s official website.
“I think Kieran Tierney is quicker than me to be fair! I think he’s the first one and I’m the second,” Martinelli said. This statement has sparked a wave of reactions among fans, with many expressing their disbelief on social media.
Despite Martinelli’s claim, many fans and analysts alike consider him to be one of the quickest players in the Premier League, and his speed has been a crucial asset for Arsenal. The Brazilian forward has been in fine form this season, contributing significantly to the team’s strong start.
Tierney, who joined Arsenal in 2019, has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury at Euro 2024. His absence has been felt, and his potential return could provide a significant boost to the team’s defensive capabilities.
As Arsenal continues its campaign, fans will be keen to see if Martinelli can maintain his impressive form and if Tierney can make a successful return to the squad. The debate over who is the fastest player at Arsenal is sure to continue, but one thing is clear: both Martinelli and Tierney are vital to the team’s success.
