Edu has been heavily criticised in the past for his transfer market activity as Arsenal’s technical director since taking over in 2019. However, he is beginning to show why he has been incredibly important to the Gunners’ rebuild.
The current summer transfer window has epitomised the successful job Edu has carried out to ensure Arsenal remains at the top in the years that are to follow. The Brazilian had to make a crunch decision on the next striker signing to lead the line for the Gunners, and the early weeks of the season have shown he succeeded in doing this.
Gabriel Jesus has been a revelation since joining from Manchester City. However, it could have turned out differently if Edu decided to sign Tammy Abraham instead.
