Arsenal technical director Edu has confessed he is a "big fan" of Lyon midfielder and Gunners transfer target Lucas Paqueta but admits a deal for the Brazilian is unlikely.
The Lyon star has attracted plenty of interest from a number of clubs across the continent this summer, including from Premier League clubs - the biggest of whom being the Gunners. Many view Paqueta as the perfect candidate to be the upgrade Arsenal need in midfield due to his supreme technical ability and age profile.
However, Edu has quashed any talk that the 24-year-old is Emirates-bound this summer as he revealed Arsenal have not even contacted Lyon over the possibility of a deal occurring before the window shuts on September 1.
