Arsenal have started the season excellently with two wins from two fixtures, which has helped calm the fans’ nerves in the final weeks of the transfer window. Despite this, it is still important that Edu looks to add strength in depth to Arsenal’s midfield.
Youri Tielemans seemed to be the player who was going to be signed, but a deal has stalled in recent weeks. However, Naby Keita’s concerning contract situation at Liverpool can be explored by Edu, with the Guinea international having halted talks over a new contract at Anfield.
Keita’s ability in playing as a No.8 would be extremely beneficial for Mikel Arteta going into the season. He also has enough quality to give tough competition for the starting midfielders.
