Gabriel dos Santos Magalhães (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɡabɾiˈɛw dus ˈsɐ̃tuz maɡaˈʎɐ̃js];[3] born 19 December 1997), also simply known as Gabriel, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as centre-back for Premier League club Arsenal and the Brazil national team.

Club career

Avaí

Gabriel Magalhães was born in the Pirituba District of São Paulo. At age 13, Gabriel began his career at Avaí but returned to São Paulo after a week due to homesickness. However, he reconsidered his decision and returned to Avaí after two weeks, eventually going on to earn his first professional contract at age 16.[4] He went on to be part of the team that won promotion to Brasileiro Série A in 2017.[5]

On 31 January 2017, Gabriel Magalhães joined Ligue 1 side Lille, signing a four and a half-year contract. When he arrived, Gabriel taught himself French and went on to conduct most of his interviews in the language.[6] After playing several matches for Lille II, he was loaned to fellow Ligue 1 side Troyes,[7] before joining Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb, where he made just one league appearance for each club's senior team.[8]

Gabriel returned to Lille in 2018, starting his first match on 10 February 2019 against relegation-threatened Guingamp in a 2–0 win. He went on to make 14 appearances over the course of the season, scoring his first goal for Lille in a 5–1 win against Paris Saint-Germain on 14 April 2019.[9]

The following season, Gabriel began to play more regularly, forming a centre-back partnership with José Fonte. Gabriel was a starter in all six of Lille's Champions League group stage matches.[10] On 31 January 2020, he extended his contract with Lille until 2023.[11]

Lille manager Christophe Galtier spoke about the defender's patience, saying "I saw he had great potential and he was able to seize the first opportunity he got. He was hungry to play, and while he bided his time, he worked a lot. He's an example for other youngsters to follow. It's a sort of intelligence to behave like that. How often nowadays do you see players not working if they're not in the squad?"[12]

Arsenal

On 1 September 2020, Arsenal announced the signing of Gabriel Magalhães on a long-term contract.[13] Interest in the Brazilian was reportedly high, with multiple clubs willing to match the valuation set by Lille.[14][15] Gabriel joined for a fee reaching the region of £27m after add-ons.[16]

2020–21 season

On 12 September, the opening day of the season, Gabriel made his debut for Arsenal, scoring the second goal in a 3–0 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage.[17] Following his performance in Arsenal's 2–1 win against West Ham United on 19 September 2020, Gabriel was awarded Arsenal's player of the month award for September.[18] He won the award again in October after featuring in five of Arsenal's six games in the month.[19] Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke highly of Gabriel's early performances, saying "you move him from France to here at an early age, without talking the language, to adapt to a new way of playing as well... [but] he has done it really quickly and is showing a great mentality as well."[20]

Despite Arsenal's poor form in late 2020, Gabriel was awarded his third player of the month award in December after his performances in Arsenal's 1–0 win against Manchester United on 1 November and their 0–0 draw against Leeds United on 22 November.[21] On 29 November, Gabriel scored his first goal at the Emirates during Arsenal's 2–1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.[22] Gabriel received his first red card for Arsenal on 16 December in a home game against Southampton, after being given two yellow cards in the space of five minutes for fouls on Ché Adams and Theo Walcott.[23]

2021–22 season

Gabriel played in all but three of Arsenal's Premier League games.[24] He scored his first goal of the season in a 2–0 win against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on 30 October 2021.[25]

On 1 January 2022, he was sent off in the second half of Arsenal's home game against Manchester City, with the score level at 1–1. With Arsenal down to ten men, Rodri scored the winning goal for City in stoppage time to make it 2–1.[26]

He scored the only goal of the game as Arsenal beat Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on 10 February,[27] and also got the winning goal against West Ham in a 2–1 win at the London Stadium on 1 May.[28] Gabriel finished the season with five Premier League goals.[29]

2022–23 season

Gabriel scored the winning goal against Fulham in the Premier League on 27 August 2022. He had made a mistake that allowed Aleksandar Mitrović to open the scoring, but his goal in the 86th minute gave Arsenal all three points in a 2–1 win.[30][31]

On 21 October 2022, Arsenal announced that Gabriel had signed a new long-term contract with the club.[32]

He scored the only goal of the game as Arsenal beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in November.[33] On 12 March 2023, he scored against Fulham again, heading in Arsenal's first goal in their 3–0 win at Craven Cottage. This was his third goal in four games against the Cottagers.[34][35]

2023–24 season

On 17 September 2023, Gabriel made his 100th Premier League appearance in Arsenal's win against Everton at Goodison Park.[36][37] He scored his first goal of the 2023–24 season in a 1–1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.[38]

Gabriel scored the first two goals in Arsenal's 5–0 win against Crystal Palace on 20 January 2024. The second goal had initially been credited as an own goal by Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Arsenal appealed the decision, and the Premier League's Goal Accreditation Appeals Panel subsequently awarded the goal to Gabriel. It was his first brace for the club.[39][40]

He made his 150th Arsenal appearance on 11 February, scoring the third goal against West Ham in a 6–0 win at the London Stadium.[41][42]

International career

Gabriel Magalhães represented Brazil at under-20 level at the 2017 South American U-20 Championship.[43][6] On 14 November 2020, he made his international debut with Brazil's under-23 national side in a 3–1 win over South Korea's under-23s in an international friendly.[44][45] On 17 June 2021, he was named in the squad for the 2020 Summer Olympics, but was forced to withdraw with a knee injury on 6 July.[46][47]

In August 2023, Gabriel received his first call-up to the Brazil senior national team by interim head coach Fernando Diniz, for two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Bolivia and Peru.[48][49] On 12 October 2023, Gabriel scored his first goal for Brazil in a 1–1 draw against Venezuela during the same World Cup qualifications.[50]

Style of play

Gabriel Magalhães is a left-footed centre-back who normally plays on the left side of a centre-back partnership. However, Gabriel can also play as part of a back three.[12] Despite his height, Gabriel is known for being fast. Christophe Galtier spoke about Gabriel, saying "He has a lot of character for a 22-year-old boy. Despite his 190cm height, he is super fast and covers his side well. He is the player who has won the most aerial duels in the first part of the season."[51] Gabriel is also known for his distribution ability, generally looking to play the ball forward or to the left-back. In the 2019–20 season, Gabriel completed the most passes into the opposition half in all of Ligue 1.[52] According to his Lille teammate and mentor José Fonte, Gabriel "has to keep defending well by being aggressive, being well positioned, and not taking risks."[12]

Personal life

In September 2021, Gabriel announced his engagement to his girlfriend Gabrielle Figueiredo.[53] The couple got married in June 2023. Their first child, named Maya, was born in April 2022.[54]
