Arsenal fans hoping to see Gabriel partner Saliba next season

Plenty of Arsenal fans have expressed their desire to see the club complete a deal for Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhaes.

Lille’s 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Emirates after catching the eye in France.

Playing a key role in their Champions League group stage, reports have claimed that the Gunners are among the teams keeping an eye on the defender.

These Arsenal fans on social media would love to see him join the club next summer.

Read Arsenal verdict

A common theme among these Arsenal fans was the prospect of Gabriel working alongside William Saliba.

With the latter due to join up with the Gunners next season, suddenly Arsenal can begin to think about what their long-term defence could look like.

Both Sokratis and David Luiz could be replaced in the near future and at the age of just 22, Gabriel’s best years are ahead of him.
