In all my career as a player,He is the best so far that I have ever came across,He gives us winning spirit whenever He is playing’: Gabriel Magalhaes says £27m is His best teammate at Arsenal currently
Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has delivered his verdict on his teammate and centre-back partner William Saliba.
The Gunners have had a decent start to the season. They topped the group in the Champions League and are currently second in the Premier League table, just a point behind Liverpool. Saliba and Gabriel have been Arsenal‘s standout players so far.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhaes describes William Saliba using one word
Arsenal signed William Saliba from Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2019 for £27 million (Goal).
The Frenchman didn’t kick a ball for the Gunners in his first three years on the club’s books. He was loaned out on three occasions and it was only at the start of last season that he got the chance.
Saliba has been magnificent for Arsenal since. He is undoubtedly one of their most important players, and he is up there with the best defenders in the Premier League.
Arsenal boast the joint-best defensive record in the division this season, conceding just 15 goals in their first 16 league games.
Gabriel Magalhaes and Saliba have been excellent for the Gunners, and the Brazilian appears to be a big fan of his partner at the heart of Arsenal’s defence.
Saliba and Gabriel have the best partnership in the Premier League
Arsenal came ever so close to winning the Premier League title last season, and Saliba and Gabriel’s partnership at the back was one of the biggest reasons why.
The two central defenders complement each other brilliantly.
Gabriel is strong, aggressive and a real leader, while Saliba is a lot more calm and takes his time to stop attacks. Both of them are brilliant on the ball and in duels too, which is why Mikel Arteta loves them.
In our opinion, Saliba and Gabriel share the best defensive partnership in the Premier League right now.
