Former Arsenal and Manchester United star Mikael Silvestre believes Gunners star Gabriel Magalhaes has improved drastically this season alongside William Saliba. Despite Gabriel's strong form at club level he is yet to receive a call-up to the Brazil squad.
The 25-year-old has played a part in keeping 16 clean sheets across all competitions this season and his performances have benefitted from the return of Saliba. The French defender was signed back in 2019 but was sent out on loan for the first three seasons of his Arsenal career.
The 21-year-old defender enjoyed a successful loan spell at Marseille last term, winning the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award, and has carried his brilliant form into his first season starting for the Gunners. Gabriel had been linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium last summer but signed a new long-term deal in October, extending his stay at the Emirates Stadium until 2027.
