England international Declan Rice has reacted to the inclusion of teammate Gabriel Magalhães in the PFA Team of the Year.
DAILY POST reported that the PFA awards ceremony was held on Tuesday, where the team was announced.
Three players from Arsenal and four players from Liverpool made the team.
Brazilian defender Gabriel, who has been a mainstay for the Gunners for three seasons, celebrated his inclusion in the XI on Instagram.
He posted a photo on Instagram, and Rice was quick to seize the opportunity to praise his teammate, describing him as the king of Brazil.
He wrote, “You’ll fall in love, I know you will, our number six is the king of Brazil! Our centre half, he’ll give you hell, our wall at the back is Gabriel! Ole ole, ole, ola!”
The England midfielder, who has himself been outstanding for Mikel Arteta’s side, also spoke at the event about the Gunners finishing second in the Premier League for the third successive term.
Arsenal lost the Premier League title twice to Manchester City and once to Liverpool in the last three seasons.
