One Arsenal defender is finding himself on the radar of Saudi club. He is playing a huge for Mikel Arteta and Gunners are very happy with him. Any deal regarding the player is likely to exceed €100 million.

The star in question here is Gabriel Magalhaes. He has formed a solid partnership with William Saliba in the base of Arsenal. Mikel Arteta owes majority of his recent success to the defenders. Gunners are extremely happy with both Saliba and Gabriel and are unwilling to part ways with any of them.

The Brazilian will be paired by Aymeric Laporte in potential partnership. Lastly, the report states that it will require atleast €100 million to lure Gabriel away from Gunners.
