Arsenal sporting director Edu could be boosted by the reported news that Fabian Ruiz's insistence to leave Napoli this summer could present Arsenal with a £50million alternative to sign a Youri Tielemans' transfer alternative as the Gunners board look to back Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners have so far only signed Brazilian youngster Marquinhos, a player Edu himself labelled as one for the future. Therefore, the north Londoners have the same squad as last season at this current moment heading into the Premier League 2022/23 curtain-raiser against Crystal Palace on August, 5.
Of course, there is plenty of time still to change this and with the likes of Tielemans and full-back Aaron Hickey in the sights of Arsenal, it is set up to be a productive summer for a side who narrowly missed out on a top-four finish to a Tottenham team who have started the transfer window on the front foot.
