Gabriel Magalhaes Key to Arsenal’s Strong Defensive Record
Magalhaes, along with partner William Saliba, has played a crucial role in shoring up Arsenal’s defense this season, contributing to the team’s impressive defensive statistics.
Arsenal currently boasts the best defensive record in the Premier League, conceding only 26 goals so far, showcasing the reliability and solidity of their defensive duo.
Arsenal secured a new contract for Saliba last summer and are looking to do the same for Gabriel now.
Although Gabriel did not start in the early matches of the season, he has regained his position and become a regular in the starting lineup.

With Arsenal currently leading the Premier League table with 77 points, just one point ahead of Manchester City, every upcoming match becomes pivotal as the season nears its end.
Despite facing tough opponents like Tottenham and Manchester United in the final stretch, Arsenal’s consistent performances have kept them firmly in the race for the league title.
With only 4 games remaining and a challenging fixture list compared to Manchester City, the Premier League title race is still wide open for Arsenal.
