Arsenal may be down and out in the race for Dusan Vlahovic, the Fiorentina striker has armed Edu with the tools to hand Mikel Arteta his very own Robert Lewandowski.
The Gunners boss is said to be on the lookout for a new forward, with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah out of contract in the summer and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's future at the club remains uncertain.
Edu went toe-to-toe with Europe's elite to sign Vlahovic before missing out on a deal at the hands of Juventus, who have agreed a €75 million (£63m) deal with La Viola for Vlahovic, according to Goal.
