Arsenal hero Paul Merson is confident Gabriel Magalhaes won't leave this summer.

Gabriel has been linked with Juventus this summer.

Merson told the Daily Star: "Arsenal fans don't have to think about losing Gabriel, despite Juventus showing an interest in him this summer. I think he will stay at the club. He plays every week, it's not like he doesn't play. I don't think he would leave for Juventus."

Gabriel accounted for five goals in 39 competitive matches for Arsenal last season. His contract runs until the summer of 2025.

“He and Ben White look very good together and Mikel Arteta rates him highly," added Merson. "He has been the first choice for quite some time now. Juventus isn't the old Juventus either, is it? They were up there with Real Madrid and Barcelona."
