Scout report
Gabriel Magalhães is a 28-year-old full-back at Arsenal, rated 71 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 188th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (80.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Magalhães.
Judged on this season alone, Magalhães graded 68 — a standout campaign that ranks top 2% of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 15 clean sheets and 3.108 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 38 → 68). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, 27th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 28 Magalhães is in his prime years, and a market index of 82 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Magalhães missed 6 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Arsenal finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71, Magalhães carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
