Arsenal defender Gabriel is excited by the prospect of being in the same team as David Luiz and Willian.

The Mirror reports Gabriel, 22, told fellow Brazilians David Luiz and Willian that he used to play as them on the FIFA video game just two years ago - and is now training and playing alongside them.

Brazilian centre half Gabriel joined Arsenal for £27m after moving to the Emirates despite interest from Everton, Manchester United and Napoli.

But clearly playing with Brazil internationals Luiz and Willian means a lot to him as does working stars as big as Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

He will wear the No.6 shirt which was worn by Arsenal legend Tony Adams.
