Arsenal fans claim that Gabriel Magalhaes is in UK ahead of imminent transfer

Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes

Some football fans have the sharpest of eyesights which can be enough to challenge the scrutinizing skills of the finest of agents at MI6.

Arsenal fans showed the exact skills when they apparently tracked down Gabriel Magalhaes’ flight from France to England.

Now, they have noticed a pixelated electricity socket in the background of a selfie.

Arsenal target Gabriel Magalhaes posted a selfie with his agent on Instagram recently and Arsenal fans claimed the Brazilian was in UK after observing the sockets on the wall.

Now why would the 22-year-old Lille centre-back be in UK and not training with his team before the French league begins?

All signs point to Arsenal getting their man, who has impressed the Gunners’ scouts with his tenacity and skills in Lille shirt.

Although the player has not been officially announced by the club, manager Mikel Arteta has publicly acknowledged that he is keen on working with the Brazilian international.

Signing Gabriel would be a brilliant way to lay down the foundation of the rebuilding phase that Arsenal so desperately need right now.

Strong rivals Chelsea are spending big money in the transfer market with confirmed transfers of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr and Thiago Silva already.

Arsenal fans are desperate to see their board back their former-player-turned-manager in the same way Roman Abramovich has backed Frank Lampard.
