Martinelli… a lot of people were crying out for him to make a start, but he [Arteta] does it when he thinks it's right,' Keown told talkSPORT. More Trending 'I think Nwaneri is on the same path. He is a wonderful talent. He's being protected by Arteta. 'It's not to do with ability, he will get his chance. Okay, maybe it's a bartering situation for the contract but I've met the family, the father, very calm, lovely family. 'He's an intelligent boy, he will eventually sign for Arsenal, there is no doubt about it. 'I just think he wants to make sure he plays football, and that is healthy.
