What happened. Gabriel Martinelli is poised to leave Arsenal for Al-Hilal after being frozen out by Mikel Arteta, with the club desperate to sell before the transfer window closes.

• Martinelli has been left out of squads for Community Shield and opening-day win.
• He rejected a move to Galatasaray earlier.
• Potential £50m fee would be a record sale for Arsenal.

Arsenal aim to use the funds to sign a world-class forward they have chased all summer.
