Previously having played video games as a fellow Brazilian, Arsenal’s new defender Gabriel Magalhaes is excited to work with David Luiz at the Emirate Stadium.
“For sure David is an example, he’s a player I really appreciate,” Gabriel said to Arsenal Digital.
“I’ve always been a big fan of him and of all that he has achieved.”
“I’ve been watching him since I was a kid, I’ve been playing video games with his character, and today it’s a dream come true to be here with him and hopefully play next to him soon.”
“It’s always good to have Brazilian players at the club to welcome me, it’s very essential for me. I don’t speak English very well, and I’ll try to learn as quickly as I can.”
“Nicolas Pepe is also a good friend of mine, and David, too, has sent me a message and welcomed me, that is very important to me and makes me very happy. I can’t wait to meet the rest of the team, Willian and Gabriel Martinelli, too.”
