Arsenal’s struggles to offload Lucas Torreira could be used by Edu to strengthen the forward line for Mikel Arteta next season. Edu can do this by offering the midfielder to Napoli to help drop the price for Victor Osimhen.
It seemed guaranteed that Torreira would secure a permanent transfer to Fiorentina after his successful loan spell at the club during the previous campaign. However, Fiorentina have now reported that the Gunners have been left 'greatly annoyed' by Fiorentina's latest offer of €7million (£6million), less than half of what they wanted for the Uruguayan.
A deal between Fiorentina and Arsenal now looks unlikely. But Edu can look to use Napoli’s previous interest in Torreira to drive down the price for Osimhen, who is a reported target for Arsenal.
