Arsenal took a setback in the summer transfer market after being snubbed by Raphinha following a very successful start to the window. Mikel Arteta has been on the hunt for a winger and it seemed that the Brazilian would have been the perfect acquisition.
However, the Leeds United winger now seems to be on his way to Barcelona and it is important that Edu searches for alternatives, as Arsenal cannot be left weak in the attacking positions. It seems that Edu has identified Marco Asensio as a potential option.
Despite the excellent qualities he showed during his first few years at Real Madrid, he has been unable to replicate that after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his knee. It is due to this that Arsenal should avoid signing him, and Newcastle’s reported intentions to hijack a deal could be a blessing in disguise.
