Manchester United disrupted Arsenal’s summer transfer plans when they signed Lisandro Martinez from Ajax, despite the Gunners being heavily interested. But, Edu has an excellent chance to exact revenge on the club’s old rivals.
According to The Athletic, Arsenal's priority was Martinez due to the 24-year-old's ability to play at centre-back and left-back. Martinez was reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium, and Ajax are rumoured to have had rejected a bid in the region of £25million.
However, Manchester United swooped in and signed the Argentine for a fee believed to be £56.7million, which left the Gunners unable to sign a player in this position during the summer. However, with January fast approaching, Edu has the chance to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk following similar interest from Erik ten Hag.
