Although Gabriel Magalhaes has excelled at Arsenal for the past year, concerns are growing that the Gunners might lose him.
At present, he remains a vital part of Mikel Arteta’s squad and this is despite starting the first two Premier League games on the bench.
While coach Arteta maintains that omitting the Brazilian was a tactical decision, reports persistently connect him to a potential move elsewhere.
Earlier in the window, Juventus showed interest, and Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad are now contenders, with Real Madrid also expressing admiration.
Still, Arteta and recent report by journalist Fabrizio Romano swiftly rejected the idea of the former Lille player leaving after the win over Palace on Monday.
