Gabriel Magalhaes 'feels at home at Arsenal' amid Barcelona links

Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes has said that he 'feels at home' at the club amid suggestions that Barcelona are keen to sign him during this summer's transfer window.

The Brazilian has been a key player for the Gunners during the 2021-22 campaign, making 31 appearances in all competitions, contributing three goals in the process.

A recent report claimed that Barcelona had identified the 24-year-old as a transfer target, with the Catalan outfit keeping a close eye on his performances this season.

However, Gabriel has suggested that he has no plans to leave the Emirates Stadium in the near future, claiming that he is "very happy" in North London.

"Well in my first season I certainly learnt a lot," Gabriel told Premier League Productions. "It's been a real challenge here and I am more and more settled every day. I feel better and better with each passing game. At the same time, we know we all can't be perfect in every match. We do make mistakes.

"But I feel good, I feel at home at Arsenal. It's a great squad to be a part of and together I am sure we can achieve a lot. I am very happy here."

Gabriel - contracted to Mikel Arteta's side until June 2025 - has made 62 appearances for Arsenal since arriving from Lille in September 2020, contributing six goals and one assist in the process.
