Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes is eager to finally team up with PSG star Neymar for Brazil.
With a World Cup on the horizon, the incentive is greater than ever to break into the national team setup, and another motivating factor is to join up with a player Gabi cites as a major inspiration so far in his career.
“Since a young age, I've always enjoyed watching Neymar play," he told arsenal.com.
“We don't play in the same position, but he's certainly my idol. I'm still a big fan of his today.
“We haven't played together yet, but I've been able to be together with him in training, and I spent some time with him when I was in the national team squad. I'm a big Neymar fan. I hope to get to play with him soon and he can set me up to score a header!"
