What Makes Arsenal Transfer Target Gabriel Magalhaes so Special?

Gabriel Magalhaes has become one of the most talked about names of the summer transfer window—yet most of us know little about him.

The 22-year-old Lille central defender is the subject of a three-way tussle between Everton, Arsenal and Napoli, and club president Gerard Lopez has given the green light to his departure, per BBC World Service (h/t Metro).

The process of getting his move this summer has been pretty complicated.

Back in April, Chelsea and Manchester United were alerted to him, but Everton became favourites to complete a deal and were confident of an agreement.
