  "summary": "Gabriel Martinelli, the Brazilian winger, is set to depart Arsenal and join Al-Hilal, according to a report from Yahoo Sports. The transfer, which finalized two days after the market closed, saw Al-Hilal pay a staggering 70 million euros to the Premier League club for the talented player. Martinelli, who has been with Arsenal since 2019, has signed a four-season contract and will join a team that includes players like Bounou, Koulibaly, Milinkovic-Savic, and Ollie Watwins. During his time at Arsenal, Martinelli has made 278 appearances and scored 62 goals, making him the most expensive sale in the club's history. He played a key role in Arsenal's Premier League victory last season, as well as their FA Cup win in 2020 and Community Shield triumph in 2023.",
