Gabriel Magalhaes has established himself as one of the finest defenders in the Premier League since joining Arsenal in 2020. The Brazilian has been a consistent presence in the Arsenal team, and his performances have warranted his regular inclusion ahead of other centre-backs.
While William Saliba is highly regarded by many Arsenal fans as the best defender at the club, Gabriel has also proven to be a fantastic performer for Mikel Arteta’s side. In their recent game against Crystal Palace, Gabriel scored a crucial goal in a 5-0 victory for the Gunners.
According to Arsenal Media, this goal marked Gabriel’s 12th in the league since joining Arsenal in 2020. Remarkably, this goal-scoring record places him ahead of all other defenders in England during the same period. The second-highest goal-scoring defender is Ben Mee, with 10 goals.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Gabriel has been solid at the back for us, yet he is also helpful up front when we need goals showing that he is more than just a brilliant defender..

Am so happy for the Brazilian it’s not funny, for a time he got so much sticks from armchair managers and fans alike.
We just simple fail to observe that he was the one facing the constant music, as though Ukrainian unplayable at times going forward he offers nothing defensively
Hi and Saliba have been the centre back pairing we’ve needed for many many years! I hope they both go on to be Arsenal legends!!!
He made some mistakes and maybe lost a bit of confidence for a while, but he’s been great lately, especially this season, so he deserves the praise. He’s earned it.
With Zinchenko at LB, Gabriel will always have a lot on his plate , but he has risen to this challenge and has improved as a player this season.There are still occasions when he needs to engage opposition forwards rather than back off them when they are in the act of pulling the trigger, but by and large, his decision making is much less erratic than it was a year ago.The aspect which appeals most of all with regard to Gabriel is his utter determination to win and the pride he displays when he wears the red shirt.
