Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have both enjoyed extremely productive campaigns, netting 11 goals each in the Premier League this term

Sporting CP defender Jeremiah St. Juste has named Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli as the two best wingers in Europe.

The Gunners, who currently lead the Premier League by five points, travelled to Lisbon on Wednesday night ahead of this evening’s Europa League round of 16 clash against Sporting. Ahead of the game, centre-back St. Juste was asked if Saka and Martinelli are currently the two best wingers in Europe, to which he replied by saying: “Yeah, I think so.

“They have a lot of quality and they prove that weekly at the highest level so it’s going to be an exciting challenge.” Saka has netted 11 goals and provided a further nine assists in the league this term whilst Martinelli has also scored 11 times, pitching in with two assists as well.

“He is at his house, you know,” he told football.london. “Arsenal is his home and for sure he is happy. And we will be happy as well if he stays and signs a new deal.”

When asked if he had encouraged Saka to stay, Martinelli added: “Yeah, we always have some jokes – me, him and [William] Saliba. But it’s up to him. But he will stay for sure. He loves the club”

This new deal will see him be made one of Arsenal’s highest paid players earning in the region of £200,000-per-week.
