Arsenal are considering a fresh bid to sign Lyon star Lucas Paqueta with Edu keen to get the deal over the line.
The Brazilian ace has been linked with a move away to the Premier League all summer with the Gunners amongst a number of Premier League clubs interested in the attacking midfielder. Newcastle United are also keen on the 24-year-old after signing his former teammate Bruno Guimaraes in January.
However, GOAL understands that Arsenal have already informed Paqueta's representatives that they want to formalise a proposal in the current transfer window. Lyon are demanding around £67million for the midfielder, although the Gunners have not made an official offer to sign the player yet.
