What happened. Arsenal have reached an agreement with Al Hilal for Martinelli, but personal terms are still being negotiated.

• Martinelli rejected a move to Galatasaray.
• Fee would surpass Arsenal's record sale of £35m for Oxlade-Chamberlain.
• Martinelli left out of Arsenal's last two matchday squads.

If completed, this would be Arsenal's biggest ever sale, a significant shift in their transfer strategy.
