Arsenal started the season excellently with five wins from five fixtures until this impressive run ended following a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United. Despite the dominant start, it is still important that Edu looks to add strength in depth to Arsenal’s midfield in January.
Youri Tielemans seemed to be the player who would be signed, but a deal stalled in the final weeks of the window. However, after Wolves’ recent transfer activity, it could create an opportunity for Arsenal to reignite their interest in Ruben Neves.
The Portuguese international’s versatility in playing as a No.8 or No.6 in the midfield would be extremely beneficial for Mikel Arteta going into the final part of the season. And his excellent start to the campaign has highlighted that he can fulfill Thomas Partey’s role in Arsenal's midfield.
