Arsenal will be busy planning not only for the upcoming transfer window but the long-term future of the club. Newly promoted sporting director Edu will be looking at where the squad can be upgraded but also the potential players that will need to be replaced.
At 29 years of age, Thomas Partey is one of the most senior members of the squad and will go into the next season in his 30s. The deep midfield position remains an area in need of reinforcement now and football.london understands that Danilo of Palmeiras is a player Arsenal looked at in the summer and could return for this winter.
That said, the Brazilian remains a prospective talent and is likely to replace Mohamed Elneny or Albert Sambi Lokonga in the squad’s midfield slots. Both have an uncertain future with the club with contracts ending and regular game time in question.
