Edu's risky £50m Ligue 1 transfer decision has already proved that it can backfire on Arsenal

Arsenal have conducted excellent business in the summer transfer window, which has resulted in a decent pre-season for Mikel Arteta’s side. However, there is still work to be done in the remaining weeks of the window.

Arteta’s side are still short of the best quality in the midfield position, and it is an area of the pitch that Edu needs to address. It seems the Gunners have narrowed the new options in this department down to two players in Lucas Paqueta and Youri Tielemans.
