Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has paid tribute to teammate Gabriel. The Brazilian has stepped in for injured colleague Shkodran Mustafi recently and the Czech ‘keeper pinpointed the defender’s desire as one of his standout qualities.

Gabriel, who also had a few games at right back when Hector Bellerin was injured, was the subject of praise from 34 year old Cech, “He is a guy who plays with great passion and that passion will serve him well here.

“Gabriel is a player who plays with his heart and you can see that in every game,” the goalkeeper told Arsenal.com. “It always means a lot to him because he plays with a lot of emotion and does everything to help the team win.

“He’s done a great job while filling in for Hector on the right and now Shkodran in the middle. He’s been doing really well. Sometimes it’s not very easy when you have to fill in for players who have as much energy as Hector going up and down the wing, but I think he did a great job at right back.”

The Brazilian is set to start against West Brom on Boxing Day and against Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day, with Mustafi out until early January with a hamstring pull.
