Gabriel Arsenal Commitment: Defender Signs Long-Term Deal to Secure His Future
Arsenal fans have reason to celebrate as Gabriel Magalhães has officially signed a new long-term contract, reaffirming his Gabriel Arsenal Commitment to the club until 2029. The Brazilian defender, who has been a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s squad since his arrival from Lille in 2020, has pledged his future to the Gunners, ensuring continued defensive stability at the Emirates.

Expressing his excitement about the contract extension, Gabriel stated:
“I arrived here as a young player, and after almost five years, I’m so happy and I’ve learned a lot. Arsenal is an amazing club, and I’m proud to continue my journey here. I hope to win trophies with this club because I love it, and my family loves it too.”
