Edu handed key Arsenal transfer boost as Xavi lists Barcelona star for sale ahead of January

Arsenal strengthened in the forward department in the summer by signing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. However, the early months of the season have shown that the Gunners still lack strength in depth throughout the forward line.

With the wide and forward areas needing to be strengthened, one player who is a possibility for the Gunners is Memphis Depay from Barcelona, as it would give Arsenal fluidity in the attack between the Dutchman and Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal were reportedly interested in the summer, but a deal never materialised for the Barcelona man.

Depay would be a good signing for Arsenal, but more so as a winger or secondary forward. And Edu has potentially been given a boost in completing a deal as Barcelona have reportedly set their transfer status on the Dutchman.
