Arsenal are working on a move to sign a new centre-back in the January transfer window following Gabriel’s injury blow against Liverpool.
This is according to former Man United, Tottenham and West Ham scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game as he exclusively told Football Insider that the Gunners have already drawn up a shortlist of options.
Gabriel, 26, limped off in the 54th minute with what appeared to be a knee ligament injury during the 2-2 draw with Liverpool at the Emirates.
Following the game, Mikel Arteta claimed he was unsure about the extent of the injury, but said the defender “could not run”.
The centre-back had previously played every minute of Premier League football this season, with the potentially serious blow setting off alarm bells at Arsenal.
