Arsenal technical director Edu has been tasked with the job of signing either Allan Saint-Maximin or Wilfried Zaha in the January transfer window. The mission comes as the Gunners begin to mount a Premier League title charge following impressive back-to-back wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
The north London side currently sit top of the table and are just one point ahead of Manchester City. However, in order to sustain a title charge, former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has encouraged his former side to sign backup options to Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus in the event that either of the three pick up an injury.
The trio have each played a crucial role in the Gunners' success so far this season, with Mikel Arteta's front-three often unchanged. But, when up against a force such as the reigning Premier League champions, Arsenal have been steered towards the signings of Saint-Maximin or Zaha in January.
