Arsenal were unable to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens, but there is a risk of burnout.
One player who the club were reportedly looking to sign in the summer transfer window was Cody Gakpo. But, a deal never materialised, meaning the winger stayed in Eindhoven following the market's closing.
However, the Dutch winger has been performing excellently since the closure of the summer transfer window. For this reason, Leeds United are reportedly looking to wrap up a deal that Edu must not allow.
