The 27-year-old is set to join the Saudi club on a four-year deal, with his contract set to run until the summer of 2030. Al Hilal aims to bolster its attacking options with high-profile signings, having already brought in Crysencio Summerville and Ollie Watkins this summer. Pena expressed his pride in Martinelli joining Al Hilal, stating that it is a significant milestone in their long-standing football relationship. He emphasized that the move is not just a stepping stone but an opportunity for Martinelli to build a lasting legacy with a club determined to win titles both in Asia and domestically. Martinelli made 278 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 62 goals, including 191 in the Premier League with 41 goals and 24 assists.",
