As per @TheSpecialCnut post in the Arsenal rumours thread…
I hope Gabriel can #maga
By god, this fanbase is gargantuan.
I like the way this guy looks on the first glance. Tall, strong, technical… Seems like a very good prospect, worth a shot imo.
More fuel for the fire
We don’t miss a thing
Gargantuan fanbase.
He gives me Smalling vibes
As a player or as to where he will end up?
Style of play and physique
looks a lot better than smalling
Smalling is actually great away from that toxic theatre of nightmares.
Roma fans can attest. I’d take smalling now and I’d take a rich man’s smalling too.
Smalling has been pretty good since moving to Roma. Although I think that says more about the pace of Serie A.
Yep. Smalldini even made it into Serie A’s team of the season.
Had Ornstein mentioned him yet?
Nope.
Well, speak of the devil.
Not Orny but The Athletic.
The next name on the list is Gabriel Magalhaes of French club Lille. The Athletic first reported on Arsenal’s interest in the Brazilian in December. At that time, Arteta wanted a left-sided central defender, but the club ultimately opted for Mari. Everton have a long-standing interest in the 22-year-old too, but have thus far been unable to agree a fee, potentially opening the door for Arsenal. It seems Arteta recognises that if we wants to play with a back four, he will require two centre-halves with both size and athleticism.
