Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has signed a new five-year deal with the club.
Since joining from Lille in 2020, Gabriel has made 83 appearances for the Gunners, chipping in with nine goals and one assist.
He has also played a major role in helping Arsenal move to the top of the Premier League table after starting all 10 league games this season.
Following an impressive start to the campaign, the centre-back has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new deal that runs until 2027.
Commenting on his deal contract, Gabriel said: "I'm very happy to sign this new contract with Arsenal, because it's such a big club.
"It's my dream and today is the best day of my life. I'm so happy to extend my contract here. Every game the supporters are pushing the team in the stadium. It's why I'm so happy to stay here. Arsenal is my home.
"In the future, I want to win games for Arsenal, I want to win trophies with Arsenal and stay here for a long time because it's my home."

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also said: "Gabi has shown huge qualities since he joined us. He is a young player with a great work ethic and his consistent strong performances have been hugely important to us over the past two seasons.
"Working with Gabi every day is a pleasure, he has formed strong relationships with everyone at the club and we're so pleased that he has committed to us on a long-term contract."
The club's technical director, Edu, also added: "It's great that we've agreed a new deal with Gabi. At 24, he's still a young player and is part of our future.
"His performances since he joined us in 2020 have been very strong and his positive impact to our results have been clear for everyone to see.
"He has grown so much on and off the pitch, with both his contribution and communication on and off the pitch. We all look forward to see Gabi continue to grow as an important part of our club."
Arsenal are also believed to be working on contract extensions for William Saliba, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
