The 19-year-old forward has not featured since March after suffering a serious knee injury but recently made his comeback for the club’s Under-21s.
“Gabriel Martinelli is very close to being available and fit to be part of us as well, which is great news,” Arteta told a press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to Everton.
“Gabi is pure enthusiasm, energy, belief, charisma and goals. And this is him.
“He's around the training ground and he's around our training sessions and the energy is different because he goes 100 miles per hour.
“He's got this passion in his way of playing and he is a threat. He's a player that we've been missing because he brings something special to the team.
“He's contagious with his attitude and I think it's going to be a big boost when we have him.”
