Arsenal had a strong start to the summer transfer window addressing both the forward and defensive positions, which clearly needed strengthening towards the back of last season. Despite a good start to the window, more acquisitions were still needed towards the end of the market, which will now have Edu occupied in the winter window in January.
Two positions seem to be the main targets for the Gunners, as Edu had reportedly been chasing players in the midfield and wing areas. It looks as though the Brazilian is prioritising these areas in January as the Gunners continue to be linked to players in those positions.
Youri Tielemans and Mykhaylo Mudryk are the two targets who have been heavily linked with a move the Gunners. And Edu has been given a major boost in securing their signature amid the players’ reported intentions.
