Edu is set to hand Arsenal a small boost ahead of the upcoming transfer window following the imminent sale of Mateo Guendouzi. The 23-year-old was sent out on an initial season-long loan to Marseille after falling out of favour in north London, and he now looks set to pen a permanent deal with the French giants.
He featured 55 times for Jorge Sampaoli's side, directly contributing towards 19 goals. The midfielder's impressive displays attracted the attention of Didier Deschamps this season, with the France boss awarding him a senior international debut.
Guendouzi, who joined the Gunners in 2018 from Lorient for around £7million, now looks set to continue his great vein of form at the Stade Velodrome due to a variable in his loan deal implemented by Edu. Goal claim that he has a €10.5 million (£9million) option-to-buy clause, despite CIES Football Observatory valuing the Frenchman at around £34million.
