Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: “Gabi has shown great quality since he came to us. He’s a young player with a great work ethic and his consistently strong performances over the last two seasons have been hugely important to us. It is a pleasure to work with Gabi every day. He’s developed a close relationship with everyone at the club and we’re delighted he’s signed a long-term contract with us.”

24-year-old Gabriel Magalhães switched from LOSC Lille to current Premier League leaders Arsenal in 2020 for 26 million euros, since then the defensive man has made 83 games, nine goals and one assist. During this time, he almost doubled his market value from 20 to 38 million euros.
