Martin Odegaard was Arsenal’s best midfielder during the last campaign due to the creativity he added in Mikel Arteta’s squad. However, there was a lot of burden on the Norway international to be the creative source without much support, and it is an issue that Edu must address in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners have been given a key price tag to this solution. According to French news outlet L'Equipe, Lucas Paqueta wants to leave Lyon at the end of the season with the Ligue 1 side set to demand €60million (£51million) to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal are in desperate need of a midfielder ahead of next season. Paqueta would be able to fill this gap, and be the solution to the creativity burden that is placed on Odegaard, which should persuade Edu to explore a possible deal.
