Gabriel Martinelli: Arsenal star wins Jewish school raffle prize

Arsenal may be on track to win British football's greatest prize, Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli has scooped an early prize of his own.

After scoring a personal best tally of 13 goals in the Premier League, the Brazilian footballer has now scored another prize, a £100 voucher from a Jewish school.

The footballer, who is not Jewish, was the surprise recipient of a prize given by Shalom Noam primary school in Edgware, where he lives.

Martinelli purchased his entry from pupils who happened to knock on his door to sell him a ticket.
