He's been a busy man so far this summer, but Edu doesn't appear to be done yet. Arsenal have made five new signings in the form of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos, but Mikel Arteta is keen to continue his shopping spree in the coming weeks.
A central midfielder was said to be high up on the club's target list and Leicester City's Youri Tielemans is a player of interest, football.london understands. However, an official bid is yet to be submitted which suggests departures are being relied on before a deal is potentially revisited later down the line.
As well as Tielemans, Lyon's Lucas Paqueta is someone else highly admired by Gunners staff. Reports in Brazil and France claimed that Edu had already been in touch with the player's representatives to confirm Arsenal's intention of making an offer, with Lyon believed to be looking for at least £50million for his services.
