Former Liverpool player Jose Enrique has named Gabriel Magalhaes as the best defender in the Premier League.
He noted that the Arsenal star is the most underrated player in the English top flight.
The Brazilian joined Arsenal from Lille in a reported £27 million deal in 2020.
The Brazil international has now emerged as one of the team’s best players this season.
His partnership with William Saliba has taken Arsenal to the top of the Premier League and sustained their fight for the title.
No player in Europe’s top five leagues has made more last-man tackles this season than the Brazilian.
“Gabriel Magalhaes from Arsenal [is the most underrated player in the Premier League],” he tweeted.
“Everyone [is] talking about [William] Saliba because he is younger etc. but Gabriel has been the best center-back in the league and he [is] still 25.”
