With less than a month remaining until Arsenal’s Premier League opener against Crystal Palace on August 5, Edu is still extremely busy in the transfer window. The Gunners need a strong window if they are to progress into the Champions League positions.
The north London side had a strong start to the summer market with two quick-fire signings in Marquinhos from Sau Paulo, and Fabio Vieira from FC Porto. These transfers were quickly followed by the arrivals of Matt Turner and Gabriel Jesus.
However, it has not all been positive in this window as Arsenal have missed out on key targets in the midfield and wing positions which has forced the search for alternatives. It seemed Edu had targeted Chelsea’s N'Golo Kante as a potential signing, and Lille’s Edon Zhegrova, but there has been doubts clouded over the potential of both of these deals happening.
