Gabriel Martinelli
Arteta stated this week that he currently has no plans to sent Martinelli out on loan in January, but that could change if they moved for Bale.
The talented Brazilian forward is tipped for a bright future at the Emirates, but he’s still working up to full match fitness following his long injury lay-off last season.
Like Pepe, Martinelli is struggling to push Smith Rowe and Saka out the starting line-up and no European football means less games for Martinelli to feature in.
A loan move for the second half of the season may well do him some good if Bale arrives in north London.
