Arsenal were set to be short of strikers heading into the new season, but Edu’s transfer business means that Mikel Arteta could have an array of selections. This also means that the Gunners will need to sell players in order to have a balanced amount of options in the forward line.
Eddie Nketiah has signed a new contract with the club, while The Times have reported that the Gunners have made an improved offer to Man City for Jesus and in spite of this new offer not meeting the £50m valuation, it is expected that the eight-time Premier League goalscorer for 2021/22 will move to the Emirates.
This is likely to be Arteta’s main striker options for the new campaign, and It is because of this that Edu should look to include Folarin Balogun in Bernd Leno’s potential move to Fulham. But, the youngsters' move should only be on a loan basis.
