Arsenal face knock-on effect if Matthijs de Ligt completes Chelsea transfer

Arsenal could have a battle on their hands to keep Gabriel Magalhaes should Chelsea complete a move for Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt this summer.

The Gunners have experienced an active transfer window so far having already moved to sign Matt Turner, Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira, while Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is on the verge of officially being announced. Mikel Arteta has also welcomed William Saliba back to his group while allowing a number of players, including Alexandre Lacazette and Matteo Guendouzi, to depart.

One player who has been integral to Arteta's cause and was expected to stay at the club this summer is key defender Gabriel, however it seems Arsenal may have a fight on their hands to retain the Brazilian's services. Juventus are understood to be eyeing the centre-back up and a transfer merry-go-round involving Gabriel could be triggered by the Gunners' London neighbours Chelsea.
