Mikel Arteta believes 'terrific' Arsenal defender Gabriel has 'an incredible future' in football after Brazilian returns from injury to fire Gunners to another clean sheet victory

Arsenal's Brazilian defender Gabriel has 'an incredible future' ahead of him according to Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

The 23-year-old centre-half made another outstanding contribution as Arsenal secured back-to-back Premier League wins in Saturday's 1-0 victory at Burnley thanks to Martin Odegaard's fine first-half free-kick.

Gabriel has helped Arteta's side keep successive clean sheets in his first two appearances of the season after missing their opening three defeats due to a knee injury.

Arteta said: 'We didn't have him, so we don't know how much we missed him, but we know he's a player with an incredible future and is already giving us a lot.
