Gabriel Magalhaes' first words after signing new long-term Arsenal contract

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has signed a new long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium after he was linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.

Juventus were said to be keen on signing the Brazilian defender but he is now set to remain in north London for the coming years. Gabriel joined the Gunners from Lille back in 2020 after completing a £23.5million transfer and has been a mainstay in defence for Mikel Arteta ever since.

The 24-year-old has featured in all but one game so far this season highlighting how much of a key asset he has become at the Emirates Stadium. Technical director Edu Gaspar and Arteta have expressed their delight after the Brazilian agreed to sign a new long-term deal, with the latter revealing Gabriel is a 'pleasure' to work with and that he is key to the future of the club.
