Arsenal had a strong start to the summer transfer window addressing both the forward and defensive positions, which clearly needed strengthening towards the back of last season. Despite a good start to the window, more acquisitions were still needed towards the end of the market, which will now have Edu occupied in the winter window in January.
Two positions seem to be the main targets for the Gunners, as Edu has reportedly been chasing players in the midfield and wing areas. It looks as though the Brazilian is prioritising the wide areas at Arsenal and this has been reinforced after Reiss Nelson’s injury against Juventus last Saturday.
football.london understands that Reiss Nelson limped down the tunnel after coming off injured in the first half. With January fast approaching there are number of players that Edu can target to improve the depth in Arsenal’s wide areas.
