Edu, the newly promoted sporting director of Arsenal, has worked successfully to overhaul the squad alongside manager Mikel Arteta, head of football operations Richard Garlick, the owners and his team of scouts and analysts. The Gunners have seen their fortunes soar in the three-plus years of his tenure but as in football is so common things can suddenly change and the Brazilian must avoid the potential traps.
Arteta has outlined on numerous occasions that Arsenal will only accept quality to come through the doors at Arsenal. This perhaps outlines why deals for some players have stalled or simply not been committed to, such as the recently reported Danilo no longer being looked at.
Yet, despite this mindset, The Athletic claim that Arsenal are considering joining the race for Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian moved to La Liga from Hertha Berlin in 2021 and scored six goals and chipped in with six assists in 29 league games, although was mainly a substitute behind Joao Felix and Antoine Griezmann.
