Arsenal winger to undergo Al-Hilal medical tomorrow

WHAT HAPPENED
Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli is reported to be due to undergo a medical with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal on Wednesday, ahead of a move that EyeFootball says has been agreed between the clubs. The report states the transfer fee is £60 million and that Martinelli is set to sign a four-year contract following a successful medical.

The piece adds that Arsenal have already strengthened the left flank with Christos Tzolis after selling Leandro Trossard, and that the club have not been actively pursuing another high-profile left-wing signing before this potential departure.

KEY CONTEXT
- EyeFootball says the Arsenal hierarchy have decided to sell Martinelli to Al-Hilal for a fee described in the report as a club-record £60 million.
- The article notes the Saudi transfer window remains open until 6 September, which would give Al-Hilal time to complete formalities after the medical.
- The report also states Arsenal have no immediate plan to cancel the deal even if they do not recruit a replacement before the domestic deadline.

WHY IT MATTERS
A move for Martinelli — a regular first-team attacker — would represent a significant outgoing transfer for Arsenal in the summer window and alter the club’s options on the left flank, particularly after the arrival of Christos Tzolis and the sale of Leandro Trossard. The reported fee, if confirmed, would be a substantial sum and notable for all clubs involved.

WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
- Whether Martinelli completes the medical and signs the proposed four-year contract.
- Whether Al-Hilal and Arsenal finalise registration and paperwork before the relevant transfer-window deadlines cited in the report.
- Whether Arsenal change course on pursuing a replacement if the sale is completed.

NOTE ON SOURCE DETAILS/UNCERTAINTY
The article contains two timing statements that appear inconsistent: it reports the Saudi window is open until 6 September (giving Al-Hilal extra time), but also includes a line stating “the window closes on September 1st 2026.” These conflicting details are presented as they appear in the source.

KEY FACTS
- Gabriel Martinelli is reported to be due for an Al-Hilal medical on Wednesday.

- Martinelli is said to be set to sign a four-year deal after a successful medical.
- Arsenal have signed Christos Tzolis and sold Leandro Trossard; they have not reportedly sought a replacement for Martinelli.
- The report notes the Saudi window is open until 6 September but also contains a statement that a transfer window closes on 1 September.
