Gabriel Magalhães is a Brazilian centre-back who joined Arsenal from Lille in 2020 and has since become one of the most commanding defenders in the Premier League. Powerful in the air, aggressive in the tackle and a constant threat from set pieces, he has grown into a leader in Mikel Arteta’s back line.
His left-footed passing and his partnership with William Saliba give Arsenal balance, and his goals from corners have become a trademark of the side. In a 2026-27 squad that now includes Piero Hincapié, Cristhian Mosquera and Ezri Konsa, he is still a central figure in how Arsenal defend and attack dead balls.
