After securing their place in the Champions League final with a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, Arsenal turn their focus back to the Premier League as they face West Ham this Sunday.
One of the club’s fortes this season has been their defensive unit, namely Willaim Saliba, David Raya and Gabriel at the back who are widely regarded as the most formidable and almost unbeatable backline.
Gabriel, ahead of the clash with the Hammers, spoke to ESPN about his love for the side as he reveals how delighted he is to be in North London.
"I think that since I arrived at Arsenal, I have been very well received. So it's the club that I have in my heart forever.
"I'm very happy here. I feel at home, my family loves the club. It's been satisfying for me to have all this time with the Arsenal jersey, so I certainly want to achieve great things here.
"I'm about to reach six years at the club. I do still have dreams to come here. I am happy and I hope to be able to bring a lot of joy to the fans who deserve it".
Arsenal squad are calm in the title race
The Gunners are five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand. Arsenal need three wins from their remaining three fixtures to claim a first league title in 22 years unless City slip up once again.
Gabriel spoke further on the intense title race which he says the Arsenal squad are calm about as they live in the present despite the pressure weighing down on them
"We are living in a moment... a very intense year, because everyone knows, we are in every competition. We have a very good group, where all the players are happy, they are able to have opportunities. And our expectation is that we can go step by step.
"We certainly want to win titles, but we also know that it's very difficult, but we have to keep in mind that we can do it. "So we are very relaxed about that, for sure we are under pressure, everyone says a lot of things from the outside, but we here have a good headspace and are focused on what is to come."
