Arsenal clears Al-Ittihad's Magalhaes transfer boost 

Arsenal FC has been handed a boost in their hopes of vending off interest for Gabriel Magalhaes in light of the interest of the Saudi club Al-Ittihad Jeddah to sign the player during the current summer Mercato. The defender's future has been linked elsewhere in recent weeks after starting the first two Premier League games on the bench. The English newspaper, “Daily Express”, stated that Arsenal adhered to the Brazilian defender Magales's next destination this season. The newspaper pointed out that the Saudi Al-Ittihad set targets on PSG captain, Marquinhos, in an attempt to sign him to strengthen their defense line. The Saudi Al-Ittihad is looking for a star to lead their defense line during the coming period, in light of the absence of Egyptian defender Ahmed Hegazy due to injury.
