Edu’s time at Arsenal since joining in 2019 has been heavily questioned due to the failure at times to negotiate the best deals for players joining and leaving the club. The Gunners have faced back-to-back eight place finishes with the Brazilian taking plenty of the blame.
However, the summer of 2021 certainly increased the his popularity within the fan base. The recruitment ahead of the current campaign was excellent and has seen the Gunners push for a place in the Champions League.
Martin Odegaard joined the club for a £35m fee from Real Madrid in the summer and has proven to be a genuine bargain. Edu certainly deserves credit for this.
