Another season without a trophy ended for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta is still the crowd favorite, but he is yet to lift a trophy, apart from the one in his maiden season as Gunners coach. But the Spaniard has started the transfer window strongly, with Zubimendi deal secured and with a key defensive player extension. Arsenal publicly announced that they have extended contract with Gabriel Magalhaes. The Brazilian international is a key member of the club’s defensive line, along with William Saliba. And while the Frenchman was the subject of transfer rumors in the last two months (all those reports have been on silent mode since), Gabriel’s commitment was never in doubt.Partey still negotiating, Arsenal release first-team playersThe Brazilian center-back decided to extend his contract on better terms and is now tied with the club until 2029. He suffered a hamstring injury that resulted in surgery at the end of the season, but he is expected to be fully fit until August, when the new season starts. He has been one of Arsenal’s best defenders, and we are talking about a team who conceded the fewest goals in the last two seasons in the Premier League.“I arrived here as a young player and after almost five years I’m so happy and I’ve learned a lot. I’m so proud of myself, it’s an amazing journey, and I’m so happy to continue it. I hope I win some trophies with this club, because I love this club and my family loves the club, too. Arsenal is an amazing club and I’m so proud to sign a new contract. I love this club, I love the supporters, my teammates, I love this stadium. I’m so proud and thank you for all the support. We continue together for the future” he said upon signing an extension.
