Gabriel - I already feel at home here

Gabriel says he already feels “totally adapted” at Arsenal.

The defender joined the club from Villarreal in January and was called up to the senior Brazil squad for the first time last week after a series of encouraging performances.

Gabriel says his family has settled immediately in London and believes his integration has been aided by his new team-mates and the club’s staff.

“My biggest problem is just speaking but in terms of settling, I am totally adapted here at the club and with my team-mates, who are all wonderful and friendly,” Gabriel told the Arsenal Magazine.

“It’s a family club. Everyone that works at the club is respectful and very attentive, they are always at your disposal.

“So I am very happy and so is my family. My wife and my son are happy. If my wife and my son are happy I feel even happier, and it gives me more strength and more will to work.”
