Arsenal must quickly forget about Raphinha despite the strong attempts to sign him, in order to allow Edu the opportunity to explore the chance of signing alternatives in this transfer window to avoid losing out on more targets.
The Gunners desperately need to sign a winger to bolster Mikel Arteta’s firepower ahead of next season. Raphinha seemed to be the main target for the Gunners but a deal fell through after Chelsea attempted to hijack a move, with Barcelona also interested in the Brazil international.
Edu can still target another Premier League player in order to fill the void in the wide positions for Arsenal, however. Michael Olise was sensational for Crystal Palace last season, and is reported to have a release clause that the Gunners can explore.
