🔴Gabriel magalhaes the defender signed a new four years contract in 2025 keeping him at arsenal until 2029.
Gabriel Magalhaes — From Lille to Arsenal Staple
Early career & Arsenal arrival
Gabriel Magalhaes began his senior career in Brazil before moving to Europe: he played for French side Lille, and had loan spells elsewhere, before Arsenal acquired him in 2020 — a move that cost around £27 million.
Since his arrival at Arsenal, Gabriel has steadily matured: from a raw but physically imposing defender to a central pillar of Arsenal’s defence. Over the years, his development on both defensive solidity and aerial threat has made him a standout among centre-backs in the Premier League.
Performance and contribution
By 2025, Gabriel had made around 210 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, and scored around 20 goals — an impressive tally for a central defender.
His physical presence, aerial dominance, and ability to defend high lines have made him a key defensive asset. Equally important — his offensive contribution from set-pieces (corners, free kicks) gives Arsenal an additional attacking dimension.
In recent seasons, Gabriel — often alongside William Saliba — has formed one of the most formidable centre-back partnerships in the league. Their understanding, complementary styles (Saliba’s composure and ball-playing + Gabriel’s physicality and aerial threat) have helped stabilize Arsenal’s defence.
Also, Gabriel hasn’t shied away from being an attacking threat: his goals have come at vital moments, from headers or set-piece situations. For a defender, that dual-threat (defending + scoring) significantly raises his value.
Challenges faced
Despite strong performances, the 2024–25 season ended with a blow: Gabriel suffered a hamstring injury near the end of the campaign (in April 2025), requiring surgery and forcing him out for the remainder of the season.
That injury exposed how crucial he is to Arsenal: without him (and Saliba), the defence looked more vulnerable. Some of the team’s drop in form coincided with his absence, underscoring how central he had become to their stability.
Nevertheless, the club seems confident in his recovery and value — as evidenced by their decision to offer him a new long-term contract despite the injury.
