Arsenal fans have been tracking the player on social media and even deduced from an Instagram story that he looked to be in a vehicle commonly used by Arsenal to transport their new signings:

Since Gabriel is clearly not driving, it doesn’t matter which side he’s sitting on. But, we should focus on another huge hint. The sunroof of the car is identical to the one of a Mercedes V class. He’s on the 2nd row. The vehicle Arsenal use to transport their new signings! pic.twitter.com/ohp4wPvtGk

Napoli have now resigned, although Gabriel was their top target to replace Kalidou Koulibaly, who is set for an exit from the Serie A club. According to reports in Italy, Arsenal have always ‘been on the phone’ to Gabriel, who was left ‘stunned’ by manager Mikel Arteta’s ‘insistence’.
