People jokingly say that Arsenal will have a scene next season as follows: "Gabriel cuts the ball and passes it up to Gabriel, then Gabriel assists Gabriel to shoot into the net." That will be the account of a very likely phage between the three stars Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes.
Gabriel Jesus is expected to join Arsenal in the summer of 2022. Spending about 50 million pounds, the Gunners have signed the Man City star. He is considered a worthy replacement for Lacazette and before that, Aubameyang who left last season.
In the 2021/2022 season, Jesus scored 8 goals and 8 assists after 28 matches in the Premier League, despite often not being able to play in his best striker position. In addition, Jesus' courage is also what Arsenal are lacking, having won the Premier League 4 times with Man City.
Up front for Arsenal, Jesus will combine with another Gabriel, Martinelli. Unlike the hitter of his compatriot, the Gunners only spent 6 million euros for Ituano to bring in the 21-year-old striker. Despite not getting much attention, Martinelli always plays very hard and determined when given the chance. Last season, he was only a little behind Jesus with 6 goals and 6 assists.
Gabriels Magalhaes is different from the two Gabriel's up front, when he plays in defence. The former Lille star arrived at the Gunners in 2020 and was known to be very unknown at that time. However, the Brazilian centre-back quickly found his place at the Emirates. With Ben White, the 24-year-old centre-back has helped the home team's defense keep a clean sheet in 12 matches after 35 matches last season. Magalhaes is so excellent that coach Arteta has said that if William Saliba returns from Marseille, the best center back of Ligue 1 season 21/22 will only be considered a reserve option.
In addition to having the same name Gabriel, the three Arsenal stars also have Brazilian nationality. However, their national team careers are not very outstanding. Of these, only Jesus is the most trusted with 56 appearances for the Selecao and scoring 19 goals. Martinelli has only played 3 matches for Brazil and Magalhaes has not even been called up.
Both at the age of 21-25, the future of the Gunners is still ahead. In the immediate future, their goal is to win a place to participate in the 2022 World Cup with the Brazilian team. While Jesus has secured a spot, Martinelli and Magalhaes need to play more impressively if they want to convince Coach Tite.
