Gabriel Magalhaes has revealed the role Nicolas Pepe played in his decision to snub Everton in favour of a move to Arsenal.
Having spent three-and-a-half years with Lille, interest in the Brazilian defender was said to be extremely high with a number of clubs interested in bringing him to the Premier League.
In the end, it was the Gunners who won the race, landing Gabriel in a deal which could eventually reach £27million.
