Okan Buruk believes the 25-year-old Brazilian winger could provide a significant boost to the team's attack. Galatasaray's improved offer has reached €45 million for Martinelli, which could be a good figure if Arsenal agrees to the deal.

Arsenal are currently assessing the offer, and dialogue between the two sides is anticipated to pick up pace shortly. Ultimately, the decision may well depend on whether Arsenal manage to bring in a high-calibre alternative prior to the deadline.
