Lille defender, Gabriel Magalhaes will make a decision on his future this weekend amid interest from Arsenal, Everton and Manchester United, according to ESPN.
The Brazilian has been in fine form for Lille over the past two seasons and he helped them to qualify for the Champions League group stages last season and the Europa League in the just-concluded season.
He has seen his profile rise in recent months and several teams believe that he will be a fine addition to their team.
The Brazilian has been told that he can leave the French side this summer and as several teams want to sign him, he is taking his time before deciding on his next move, but the report reckons that it will be made this weekend.
Arsenal has struggled at the back this season, but Mikel Arteta made them a better side defensively shortly before the season ended.
Nevertheless, the club knows that they will have to get recruitments right if they are serious about building on the success that they have achieved this season.
Gabriel will be a fine addition to a defence that will need to see the back of the likes of Shkodran Mustafi Rob Holding and Sokratis.
Gabriel would be a fantastic
signing for AFC but if the Brazilian
does decide to take his talents
elsewhere, MA and co. wouldn’t
be losing much in comparison to
any of the following…
Boubacar Kamara
Abdul Diallo
Ibrahim Kontae
Lucas Klosterman
Edmund Tapsoba
Nico Elvedi
Manuel Akanji
Ozan Kabak
MerihDemiral
Nikola Milenkovic
Pau Torres
Jules Kounde
Unai Nunez
Mouctar Diakhaby
Issa Diop
Lewis Dunk
Malang Sarr
22yr old Malang Sarr on a free from Nice is one I thought we should wrapped up by now and let the likes of Chambers, Sokratis, Holding and Mustafi all leave. Saliba already there with Luiz and Mari.
Left footed CB with room for improvement. If we need Gabriel also then sign him up with the cash from the sales of the above. Add those 2 to the 3 above plus Mavraponas on loan again, still think hes a baller in the making.
Gabriel, Saliba, Luiz, Mari & Holding.
Try to sell 1st then replace Kolasnic would be good too for back up for Teiney who also can fill in at the back 3 positions & is quite good there.
