At 22 years old, Gabriel Magalhães has emerged into one of the brightest defensive prospects in Ligue 1, forming a solid pairing alongside Portuguese veteran José Fonte in the heart of Lille's defense. The Brazilian has been linked to a plethora of clubs such as Arsenal, Everton, Inter, Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli.
The most recent transfer rumor arrived on Saturday, with the Daily Record's Duncan Castles reporting that Manchester United are keen to sign the Brazilian center back, as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eyes a new defensive partner for Harry Maguire. Napoli have reportedly agreed terms with him already, so if United want to sign Gabriel -- who is valued at £25 million -- they'll have to act fast.
But just how good is Gabriel, and would he be a successful partner for the most expensive defender of all time?
