Done Deal: Valencia Confirm Signing Of Arsenal's Brazilian Defender

Through official channels, Spanish La Liga club Valencia have hinted that they are on the verge of announcing the signing of Brazilian defender Gabriel Paulista, subject to a medical.

The São Paulo native has ended his two-and-a-half year collaboration with Arsenal after the Premier League club agreed to sell him to Valencia for eleven million euros.

Gabriel Paulista joined Arsenal in January 2015 from Villarreal and appeared 64 times for the first team across all competitions.

The 26-year-old was not in the Gunners squad for their first competitive game of the new season against Leicester City last Friday.
