Arsenal and Al-Hilal are deep in negotiations regarding a potential deal for Gabriel Martinelli, bringing the Brazilian winger closer to a move to the Saudi Pro League. The prospective transfer, valued at roughly £50 million, would rank as the highest outgoing fee ever received by the North London club.
