Now that Gabriel Magalhaes is officially engaged to Gabrielle Figueiredo, his attention would be directed to how he could help Arsenal win their third successive match.
Recall that Arsenal started the 2021-2022 Premier League season with three successive defeats but with the help of Gabriel, they have been able to turn their fortune around in their last two games.
In Arsenal’s last league game which was against Burnley on September 18, Gabriel was so solid that he made it to BBC Premier League team of the week.
His impact on the Premier League team made his coach, Mikel Arteta to describe him as a player who has an “incredible future”.
“We know that he’s a player with an incredible future and is already giving us a lot,” Arteta said. “He has adapted really well to the league. That’s why we signed him.
“He is stepping in, his language is much better and he can coach and communicate much better with his teammates.
“He understands what we want and I don’t think it gets much harder than playing here in the Premier League. He was terrific today.”
Gabriel Magalhaes’ form will be tested when Tottenham Hotspur visit the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, September 26, 2021. The Premier League game will kick off at 16:30.
Arsenal are currently sitting on the 13th spot on the league table with 6 points in 5 games, three points away from 7th placed Tottenham Hotspur.
If Arsenal manage to beat Tottenham on Sunday, they could jump to the 8th spot pending the outcome of other league games this weekend.
