Despite a difficult start to the season, Martinelli has established himself as an important player for Arsenal up front this season under Mikel Arteta.
The Brazilian is part of the young core Arteta has assembled at the Emirates Stadium as he continues to rebuild the club.
Cedric believes Martinelli is similar to Manchester United superstar Ronaldo in the manner he assaults space as he marauds forward into the final third with an eye for goal.
Martinelli, according to the defender, champions a determination to strive for game time on the field, which adds to his excellent work ethic.
