Gabriel Magalhaes may have spent just a season at Arsenal, but the Brazilian is committed to helping the club even if that means convincing his ex-teammate to join him at the Emirates.
Arsenal has been linked with a move for Lille midfielder, Renato Sanches after he impressed at Euro 2020 before Portugal exited the competition.
The Gunners will face serious competition for his signature and they might need some help to make the move happen.
Gabriel is attempting to be useful and to assist them in signing his former teammate.
Sanches posted an image on his Instagram page and Gabriel commented: “Come to arsenal” with an emoji.
In what looks like the midfielder would be open to the idea of making the move to the Emirates, he replied.
“I’m wait for your invitation [sic].”
Sanches had a brief spell in the Premier League before now when he played for Swansea City on loan from Bayern Munich.
He did badly in England’s top flight and continued struggling back at Bayern.
He was then sold to Lille in 2019 and he has looked to be back to his best at the home of the French champions.
He and Gabriel were teammates before the Gunners signed the latter last summer.
Would rather have Kalvin Phillips…IJS 😁
One of the most impressive midfielders in the tournament to date. Technically sound, strong, energetic and versatile – the ideal partner for Partey. Bissouma would be good too, but he doesn’t score enough goals.
Sanchez has excelled in a box to box midfield role where his pace and energy has shone through despite high calibre opposition.Kalvin Phillips is basically a DM who has impressed me more than Rice of West Ham who has run out of gas.By playing Rice and Phillips in a defensive 3-4-3 system Southgate has lost flair and creativity he gets from the likes of Foden and Mount.I sincerely hope he reverts to a more attacking system against Ukraine.
Grandad,
I think he’s trying to use 2 Dm to absurb the pressure of the opposition who tend to play with flair. When they get tired he can now come with players like Grealish to take advantage of their tried legs. It’s a smart way to think.
Gogo, I have no problem with him playing two DMs in front of a back four, but to do so in front of what was a back five, is being ultra cautious in my opinion.At the end of the day however ,England are through and ought to beat Ukraine regardless of what tactics are used.
Renato Sanchez is a very good all round midfielder. Not only has he showed excellent displays for Portugal, but helped Lille to the Ligue 1 title last season.
Lille’s perilous financial situation is leading to a fire sale of their players and Sanchez is available. He would greatly improve Arsenal’s midfield and wouldn’t be lost to Afcon. I hope Gabriel can turn his head.
Agree wholeheartedly.Sanchez has an asset which is lacking in the likes of Odegaard and Ceballos namely real pace to drive away from the opposition.
Good work Gabriel, hope Sanchez signs for us, a very good midfielder, both in attack and defence.
i love theway renato shancez played,on the pich with cummittment,good one for arsenal fc.
Renato, join Arsenal and start a new invincible
