Arsenal's Gabriel signs new four-year contract

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães has signed a new long-term contract, keeping him at the club until 2029.

The 27-year-old joined the club in 2020 and has made 210 appearances for the north London side, scoring 20 goals — more than any other Arsenal defender.

“I arrived here as a young player and after almost five years I’m so happy and I’ve learned a lot,” Gabriel said. “I’m so proud of myself, it’s an amazing journey, and I’m so happy to continue it. I hope I win some trophies with this club, because I love this club and my family loves the club, too.

The Brazil international scored on his debut at Arsenal and has since won the community shield and been awarded with a spot in the 2024-24 PFA Team of the Year.

Gabriel missed the final games of the 2024-25 season after suffering a hamstring injury against Fulham in April, and in his absence, Arsenal won just three of their last eight Premier League games.
