Gabriel: I used to play video games as David Luiz & now he’s helping me settle at Arsenal

Arsenal new boy Gabriel Magalhaes is looking forward to working with David Luiz at Emirates Stadium having previously played as a fellow Brazilian on video games.

Another South American centre-half has been added to Mikel Arteta’s squad in north London. The Gunners won the race for a much sought-after signature as they put a £25 million ($33m) deal in place with Lille for Gabriel.

Big things are expected of the 22-year-old in English football, but he is finding his feet at a Premier League heavyweight and will need time in which to settle.
