Edu has been heavily criticised in the past for his transfer market activity as Arsenal’s technical director since taking over in 2019. However, he is beginning to show why he has been incredibly important to the Gunners’ rebuild.
The current summer transfer window has epitomised the successful job Edu has carried out to ensure Arsenal remains at the top in the years that are to follow. While rival Premier League clubs continue to franticly panic buy to improve their team before the end of the window, Edu has already undertaken the necessary ground to ensure this is not the case for the north London side.
According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Newcastle have agreed to a deal to sign Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad, with Spanish reports quoting a deal to cost €75million Euros (£63million), which includes add-ons. The Sweden international had also previously been linked with a move to Arsenal.
