Gabriel Magalhaes Arsenal defender signs new contract until 2027

Last updated on 21 October 202221 October 2022.From the section ArsenalGabriel scored on his Arsenal debut in September 2020 and has eight Premier League goals Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has signed a new contract at the club until 2027. The Brazilian international joined Arsenal in September 2020 for a reported £23.14m from Lille. "He is a young player with a great work ethic," said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. "Working with Gabi every day is a pleasure." Gabriel's new deal is a two-year extension to his original contract. The 24-year-old has made 81 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners, scoring nine goals. "I think when we look at a central defender we look at partnerships," added Arteta. "I think Gabi has made William Saliba a better player and I think Willy helps him to be the same. "A winning team needs to have a spine, play at a really high level and keep clean sheets. We are doing that a lot." The Gunners are four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League having won nine and lost one of their ten fixtures so far.Our coverage of the Gunners is bigger and better than ever before - here's everything you need to know to make sure you never miss a momentEverything Arsenal - go straight to all the best content
