Arsenal were unable to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens.
One player who the club were reportedly looking to sign in the summer transfer window was Rafael Leao. But, due to the heavy price tag and Arsenal failing to qualify for the Champions League this season, it made a potential transfer difficult to complete.
However, with, Arsenal’s excellent progress in the Premier League this season, the Gunners have another chance to test Leao’s resolve. The north London side are not the only Premier League club reportedly interested in the winger, which means that Edu will need to be proactive.
