Arsenal lose second forward in days as Martinelli joins Al-Hilal for £60m

Arsenal confirmed Gabriel Martinelli's £60m move to Al-Hilal on 3 September, days after Gabriel Jesus joined Barcelona. Two first-team forwards gone with the season under way and a Premier League title to defend. The £60m — Arsenal's record sale, including a sell-on clause — gives Mikel Arteta funds to reinvest, but the attacking depth has thinned fast.
