OFFICIAL: Gabriel Magalhães has joined Arsenal for £23m on a long term deal. He will wear the #6 shirt previously worn by former captain Laurent Koscielny.

Mikel Arteta said: “We welcome Gabriel to Arsenal. He has many qualities which will make us stronger as a defensive unit and as a team. He has proved with Lille that he is a defender with outstanding attributes. We are looking forward to watching him grow as an Arsenal player.”

Technical director Edu on the signing of Gabriel Magalhães: “We are delighted to have signed Gabriel. He is a player we have been studying for a while and he was in demand from many clubs, so we are proud to have agreed and completed this transfer with Lille and the player."

Edu: Gabriel is a player of high quality and Mikel and his coaches are looking forward to integrating him into the club.”

Gabriel Magalhães: "So many fans were sending me messages asking me to join Arsenal and that played a big part on me signing for this club"

Gabriel Magalhães “I spoke a lot with my family and my agents, I also spoke with some of Lille’s directors, but as I said, this club’s history and traditions and the team project for the next few years were very motivational for my decision to come here”

Gabriel Magalhães: “[Edu and I] had several chats about Arsenal and the new project, we had many good conversations,. As the days went by I was getting very excited about it, then I had a call from the coach and that was very reassuring."

Gabriel Magalhães: “Having the coach himself calling you to say he wants you in his squad motivates you a lot. That is the very reason I am here today. We did not talk about [details], he just told me he is aware of my quality, my capacity and how far I can go."

Gabriel Magalhães: "He also said he will be very demanding with me. I know he is a great coach and I will make progress with his help.”
