I’ve barely watched him play ‘live’ either, hope he is good.
Pumped Up Kicks ■■■ (edit: l e l, can we get rid of that being a banned word? Lol)
I was impressed by the bit at the start when Hudson Odoi took a shot and it hit Gabriel in the face.

Nobody does 
Looks like an astute signing along with Saliba expecting big things from these two once they are settled and get going !!

Pleased to welcome Gabriel to Arsenal and looking forward to him developing at the club. Still would have preferred Upamecano, but maybe we can make room in the squad for him next summer if he remains at RB Leipzig this season.
Looks good on YouTube, but will need time to adapt. Hopefully, he can form a good partnership with Saliba.
Did anyone else wonder if Gabriel has just had his teeth done? They were gleaming in that video!
Teeth done?? Lmao, just brushing ur teeth and whitening them now and again is enough to get ur teeth looking like that no surgery needed 
Lol yeh ur right I mean u can get bright teeth by whitening but those don’t look very natural at all
Being a dentist I loan my expertise here 
No those are not natural teeth. They are ceramic. You prep the “real” teeth underneath, shape them like a cone, make a print of them to get a mold and make ceramic crowns that fit exactly to the teeth underneath.
Not like Klopp who had so much periodontitis that the best solution was be to pull (most of) them out and fit screw implants.

Extract from athletic article.
Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzig was the scouting department’s top recommendation but Gabriel was a close second. At first, it looked like Everton would win the race for his signature — Gabriel and his representatives travelled to England for talks before the coronavirus pandemic put the brakes on the deal, providing other clubs with a chance to join the bidding.
As with their move to sign Pepe last summer, Arsenal ultimately found themselves duelling it out with Napoli for a Lille player’s signature. Prior to his departure, Raul Sanllehi led the negotiations — but conversations with Arteta and technical director Edu ultimately swung the deal in Arsenal’s favour.
Pretty much. Upa and Partey were our main targets this window. We’ve been tracking them for a while too. Seems like the club didn’t want to risk 40-50m on Upa now. Good call. We can revisit the situation next year. Although, he may be hot property next year if he earns a starting spot in the French NT.
Why go ceramic over porcelain? Surely footballers go the more expensive option?
I am going down the veneers path in 6 months I think.
It depends on what tooth and how your bite is.
Nice! 
I hope you will be happy with them.
Are you guys seriously talking about his teeth? 
Luca would be proud
