Gabriel Magalhaes linked with clubs although Arsenal don’t want him gone

Gabriel Magalhaes

Arsenal star Gabriel Magalhaes is reportedly a target for Real Madrid. This is inorder to replace Eder Militao. This comes after the latter suffered a very serious knee injury.

The Gunners’ 25-year-old centre-back has always been a mainstay. That is in Mikel Arteta‘s side since his arrival. But he was dropped to the bench against Nottingham Forest on Saturday and Arteta has claimed it to be tactical.

Gabriel Magalhaes wants to stay at Arsenal

Arsenal signed Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille three years ago. And he has been fantastic for them then.

The Brazilian has improved massively over the years. And he struck up an incredible partnership at the back. That is ofcourse with William Saliba last season.

Gabriel was, at times, even better than Saliba. And the 25-year-old was definitely one of the biggest reasons why Arteta’s men were on top of the league table for such a long time last season.

The Brazilian has all the characteristics needed to become a world-class centre-half in the near future. He’s good on the ball, is very strong and aggressive. And he is also brilliant in the air as well.

He was right up there with the best defenders in the Premier League last season. The fact that he’s still only 25 means he will only get better in the coming years for Arsenal.

The Galacticos want to replace Eder Militao. Militao suffered an ACL injury last week. He is set to undergo surgery. He will miss a large chunk of this season as a result of this.

Gabriel is reportedly being viewed as a replacement. He’s not a bad option at all.
