Gabriel Magalhaes 'yet to make decision on future amid Chelsea, Arsenal links'

Gabriel Magalhaes 'yet to make decision on future'

Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes is reportedly still making a decision over his future amid interest from a number of Premier League clubs.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Leicester City have all been linked with a move for the 22-year-old, who has established himself as a key member of the Lille first team this season.

Everton are understood to be leading the race for his signature, though, having reportedly submitted a bid of €35m (£30.5m).

French outlet Le 10 Sport claims that Gabriel has visited the Everton facilities and met with manager Carlo Ancelotti, but is yet to make a final decision over his future beyond the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

Gabriel's contract at Lille does not expire until 2023 and the club are also happy to wait in case other offers arrive from elsewhere.

The Brazilian has made 34 appearances across all competitions this season.
