Arsenal technical director Edu and head coach Mikel Arteta could be about to make the same transfer mistake that Arsene Wenger did 12 years ago.
Despite sitting just two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, the Gunners are yet to make any first-team additions in the January window as Monday night's deadline fast approaches.
Arteta and Edu had been chasing Dusan Vlahovic but as football.london reported earlier this month, the Serbian international preferred a move to one of Serie A's top clubs.
