Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli has declared he's happy where he is.

The Brazil international admits he feels settled in London to the point where he can see himself staying in England after his playing career is over.

He told arsenal.com: Sometimes when I speak to my mum I tell her I want to stay in London and maybe even stay here after football you never know," Gabi told us earlier this year. But I love it here. She's like: 'Ahhh, you need to come back to Brazil sometimes as well!'

There are a lot of languages spoken in the dressing room, so we can always communicate as a group. But it's nice when you can speak your first language. There are a lot of Portuguese-speaking players here and that's helpful because you can put into words what you really want to say.

Sometimes, in English, there's something you want to say but it's hard to find the right words. It's a bit tricky. But in Portuguese, it's much easier. It's really good to have those players in the dressing room. We're always together the Gabis, Fabio, Cedric, Jorginho. It's nice to have them here and it strengthens that bond too."
