Next brick in Arsenal wall makes perfect sense after Tottenham masterclass

Ryan Taylor argues that Leeds United defender Tarik Muharemovic represents an ideal potential long-term successor for Gabriel Magalhaes at Arsenal. The 23-year-old Bosnian centre-back joined Leeds from Italian club Sassuolo in the summer and delivered an impressive performance against Tottenham Hotspur, recording ten defensive contributions and securing a clean sheet.

While replacing Gabriel is not an immediate priority for manager Mikel Arteta, Taylor suggests the Gunners should monitor Muharemovic given the scarcity of elite left-sided defenders. Statistics show the defender leads Gabriel in clearances and interceptions per 90 minutes this season while playing every Premier League minute.
