‘He has got technical ability’: Reiss Nelson seriously impressed by 26-year-old Arsenal defender

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are having a wonderful season and could win the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Arsenal are above Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League table. The Gunners have also progressed to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and will take on Bayern Munich for a place in the last four.

One of the Arsenal players who is doing well this season is defender Gabriel Magalhaes. The Gunners are defensively mean, and Gabriel has played a big role in that.

The Gunners have conceded only 24 goals in 28 Premier League matches this season. The partnership between Gabriel and William Saliba at the heart of the defence has been huge.

Nelson said about Gabriel in training on Sky Sports: “No one can go near him, man. He is one of those rash players, but his intensity is good.

“On top of that, he has got technical ability, in the air, he is good. He has scored this season, he talks – that’s what you want from your centre-back.”

My View: Gabriel is a top-class defender

In my view, Arsenal defender Gabriel is one of the best players in his position in the Premier League. He is 26 now and is at the top of his game.

Gabriel has progressed and developed a lot at Arsenal since 2020. He has become more mature as a player and is flourishing under manager Mikel Arteta.

The defender has also added more facets to his game. He scores goals now. He has found the back of the net four times in the Premier League this campaign.
