Gabriel Magalhaes has admitted a talk with manager Mikel Arteta helped convince him to stay at Arsenal last summer. The Brazilian centre-back was a regular starter last season but was benched for the start of the current campaign until injuries to Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey forced Arteta to rethink his tactical tweak.

The legendary Argentine had led his country to the 2022 World Cup after all, where he arguably cemented his place as the greatest footballer to have ever played the game. Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe were his nearest challengers in 2023, both enjoying exceptional years of their own. Haaland scored 54 goals in all competitions during the eligibility period, while Mbappe led France to back-to-back appearances in the World Cup final, sensationally scoring a hat-trick against Argentina (albeit in an eventual losing effort) to scoop the Golden Boot.
