With rumours circulating of Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es’ imminent arrival to the Premier League,<\/a> Fabrizio Romano has reported<\/a> that a medical at Arsenal has been complete. The Brazilian will reportedly sign a deal until 2025 with the fee, according to Romano<\/a>, set to be \u00a330 million, plus add ons.<\/span><\/p>\n

The young defender looks likely to become the second Brazilian through the Arsenal door this summer, following Willian’s<\/a> arrival from Chelsea.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Magalh\u00e3es Deal Nearing Completion<\/span><\/h2>\n

Arteta Building for the Future\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mikel Arteta, with one trophy already lifted a high, will now look towards re-establishing a structured plan to secure Arsenal’s future; a plan that is reportedly set to begin with the Magalh\u00e3es transfer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old comes into an Arsenal setup full of young talent. Gabriel Martinelli<\/a> looks ready to lead the line for years to come; Bukayo Saka<\/a> looks capable of playing in a plethora of positions and William Saliba<\/a>, and Magalh\u00e3es should prove to be a sturdy defensive pair once the time is right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact is, while Arsenal don’t look all too convincing right now, they could be a top side once again in a few years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Magalh\u00e3es an Impressive Coup by Arsenal<\/span><\/h3>\n

It’s no wonder Arsenal fans are delighted with the reported transfer of Magalh\u00e3es. The young Brazilian attracted plenty of interest, particularly from Manchester United<\/a> this summer, yet, ultimately, chose project Arsenal instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The deal acts as hope for the north Londoners that, despite not qualifying for the Champions League,<\/a> they can still compete in the transfer window and attract top players.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are now seeing Mikel Arteta slowly, but surely, begin to form his team, with his tactical mind the groundwork for success. Now, with the right players at Arteta’s disposal, a return to the top six, or even the top four, could be on the cards this season.<\/span><\/p>\n
