Arsenal defender Gabriel has signed a new long-term contract to stay at the club.

The 27-year-old still had two years to run on his current deal but will now stay at the Emirates for an extended period.

He said: “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.

“I hope I win some trophies with this club, because I love this club and my family loves the club, too.

“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.”

Gabriel scored five times last season before a hamstring injury ended his campaign in August.

Arsenal announced earlier this week that midfielder Jorginho and defender Kieran Tierney will leave the club when their deals expire at the end of the month.

Midfielder Thomas Partey’s contract is also due to expire but talks over an extension are ongoing.
