I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Gabriel Magalhães backed into 9/1 from 16/1 after Arsenal’s continued strong form
  • Erling Haaland remains 9/4 favourite despite Manchester City’s title wobble
  • Arsenal now odds-on at 4/9 to win the Premier League, further boosting Gabriel’s chances

The betting market for the PFA Player of the Year 2025/26 has seen a notable shake-up following Arsenal’s continued dominance with centre-back Gabriel Magalhães seeing his odds cut from 16/1 to 9/1 with UK Betting Sites.

Arsenal's Brazilian defender has been a key part of a Gunners back line that boasts the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League this season. 

His consistency, leadership, and goal threat at set-pieces are winning admirers and punters are beginning to believe he could challenge the more attacking names for the individual honour.

Bet365's latest market gives Gabriel a 10% chance of being crowned PFA POTY this season.

Centre-Backs Rarely Win It… But Could Gabriel Buck the Trend?

Defenders have a tough time winning individual honours, especially in attacking leagues like the Premier League but recent years have seen a shift, particularly if their contributions are vital to a title-winning season.

Gabriel’s current surge in form coincides with Arsenal becoming odds-on to win the league, now 4/9 favourites to lift the Premier League trophy following dropped points for City and Liverpool over the weekend.

If Arsenal stay top and finish strong, Gabriel could follow in the footsteps of Virgil van Dijk, who won the award in 2018/2019 as a centre-half, a precedent punters clearly haven’t forgotten.

Arsenal Dominate the Betting Market

It’s not just Gabriel flying high in the odds. 

Fellow Gunner Bukayo Saka is now 7/1 second favourite, while Declan Rice is well backed at 10/1 following his standout midfield performances.

This trio alone reflects how Arsenal’s rise has been powered by individual brilliance across the pitch, making them a hot topic across all betting sites not just for team markets but personal accolades too.

What the expert says...
Gabriel has been a rock for Arsenal this season and punters are starting to take notice. If he adds a few more goals or a big Champions League moment, his price could collapse further.
