Gabriel Claims Arsenal Poised for Triumph: Is This the End of Their Trophy Curse?
“The players that are here are doing that. We are strong and we are getting stronger with these new players.
“Definitely, it excites me. We want to have the best players. To be in the dispute for titles, you have to have the best players.”
Gyokeres is expected to boost Arsenal’s goal tally following a remarkable 54-goal season with Sporting. Gabriel, who faced the Swede in last year’s Champions League clash, even mimicked his celebration in Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Sporting.
“We all know he is a great player, but he is a Sporting player not an Arsenal player,” Gabriel said when asked about the striker. “Playing against him last year was a challenge. He is great and had a great season. About the celebration, it is something I can’t talk about right now.”
Now entering his sixth season in north London, Gabriel feels Arsenal are finally ready to take the final step.
“I’ve been at the club for five years now and I’ve seen how much the club has grown,” he said ahead of the club’s Asia tour. “I am here to win big titles and I do believe that this season will be different. We have let a couple of titles slip through our fingers recently.
“We almost won but I think this year things will be different. I have a lot of faith in that.”
