Gabriel Claims Arsenal Poised for Triumph: Is This the End of Their Trophy Curse?
He performed admirably – scoring seven times in 28 league appearances and netting a crucial goal in the Champions League win over Real Madrid – but it’s a situation Arteta will want to avoid repeating.
“I don’t think we can give excuses,” Gabriel added. “We did everything we could in the last three years. I feel like we had a little bit of bad luck sometimes, but we all believe that we can win big titles.”
Arsenal have been active in the transfer window, making several signings ahead of their Premier League opener away at Manchester United on August 17.
So far, the club has brought in winger Noni Madueke, midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Deals are also in progress for striker Viktor Gyokeres and defender Cristhian Mosquera.
Zubimendi, who turned heads during the Euro 2024 final for Spain, was a key target for multiple top clubs including Liverpool. Alongside him, Norgaard has arrived from Brentford, bringing experience to a midfield reshaped by the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey.
Madueke offers depth and flexibility across the frontline, supporting Saka and competing with Martinelli for minutes.
“I think the players that came will help us out a lot,” said Gabriel. “The club is doing what is best for the players and the manager. They are definitely doing their best to bring the best players that can help us, but we have to focus on what we can do out on the pitch.
