Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has outlined his desire to play for the Gunners for years to come after signing his new contract.

The North Londoners made the announcement on Friday, with the 24-year-old penning a long-team deal at N5.

According to BBC Sport, Gabriel’s new Arsenal contract takes him to the summer of 2027.

The Gunners signed the Brazilian from Lille in 2020, and he has become a key player for Mikel Arteta.

Gabriel has made 83 competitive appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, also registering nine goals.

He has formed a superb partnership at centre-back with William Saliba this season.

Their efforts have helped Arsenal go four points clear at the top of the Premier League table after 10 games.

Gabriel’s new contract is great news for the club and the fans, and the player himself is also thrilled about his new deal.

“I’m very happy to sign this new contract with Arsenal, because it’s such a big club,” he told the club website.

“It’s my dream and today is the best day of my life. I’m so happy to extend my contract here.

“Every game the supporters are pushing the team in the stadium. It’s why I’m so happy to stay here. Arsenal is my home.

“In the future, I want to win games for Arsenal, I want to win trophies with Arsenal and stay here for a long time because it’s my home.”

Gabriel’s new contract is great news on so many levels.

Obviously the key thing is that Arsenal retain the services of a top player for years to come.

As well as that, it shows that “incredible“, top-level players like Gabriel want to stay at the Emirates Stadium.

This, alongside Arsenal’s great recruitment in the summer and their table-topping form, all show that they’re once again a force to be reckoned with.
