Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is one of the best players in the Premier League.

The Englishman has been absolutely incredible for club and country over the years, and he is getting better and better every season.

Saka possesses incredible qualities that most other players in the Premier League wish they had. He is so good at almost everything on the pitch.

However, there is one quality that Saka thinks he doesn’t possess, but one of his teammates does.

Bukayo Saka wants to take one quality from Arsenal teammate Gabriel Magalhaes

Arsenal signed Gabriel Magalhaes in a £27 million deal from Lille in the summer of 2020.

The Brazilian scored on his debut with a brilliant header against Fulham, and he has been among the Gunners’ most consistent performers since.

Gabriel is now one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and even in Europe. He has formed an excellent partnership with William Saliba at the back and is among the biggest reasons why Arsenal have been so strong in recent years.

The defending he does makes Gabriel a great player, but what makes him even more valuable to this Arsenal side is his ability in attacking set-pieces.

The former Lille man is a massive threat every time Arsenal have a corner, and he has scored plenty of goals with his head from inside the box.

Saka was asked if there’s one quality from a teammate he would like to add to his own game.

The Arsenal number seven replied: “I want to be able to header like Gabriel Magalhaes!”

Gabriel is on track to break all-time Arsenal record

Ben White branded Gabriel as a ‘scary’ player in set-pieces – he’s almost unstoppable.

The Brazilian, since joining Arsenal, has scored 16 goals. That makes him the Gunners’ second-highest-scoring defender in the Premier League.

In first place is Laurent Koscielny, who managed 22 goals during his time at Arsenal. He scored that many in 255 games for the North Londoners.

Gabriel has only played 143 times in the Premier League so far, and we are convinced that he will break Koscielny’s record very, very soon.

Arsenal take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday and Gabriel is expected to start. We won’t be surprised if he finds the net from a corner at the Emirates.
