Edu 'invited' to SC Braga scouting trip to identify Arsenal transfer deals for Mikel Arteta

It's not every day a manager openly speaks about how they want their star players to purposely put on a show for potential suitors, but that's exactly what former Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal has done. Speaking to the press ahead of tonight's Europa League quarter-final clash against Rangers, the current SC Braga manager admitted that he wants his players to shine in front of the Premier League's big guns ahead of potential transfer moves.

Arsenal have previously been linked with the side's captain, Ricardo Horta. Meanwhile, Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly admirers of central defender David Carmo and Carvalhal hopes that his stars can further showcase their quality over the two legs.

"We've got the youngest team left in the Europa League," he said. "We have a lot of boys with very good quality. This question is put to me and I understand, but it also goes for our players. David Carmo was linked last year with Liverpool. We have a lot of talented players aged 17, 18, 19 who want to play in England.
