Marcus Edwards captured the eyes of European football fans on Tuesday as he ripped apart his former side Tottenham Hotspur. Dribbling in and out of the Spurs defence, Edwards could have scored one of the goals of the tournament so far.
With Arsenal in need of reinforcement in the wide area, suggestions that Mikel Arteta should pay attention to Edwards grew exponentially. Being a former Spurs player, the added narrative behind any move writes itself.
However, Edwards’ exit from Spurs came after a history of reported attitude issues. The Arsenal manager has worked hard to overhaul the squad with players such as Matteo Guendouzi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang moved on due to disciplinary-related problems.
