Arsenal’s Carabao Cup semi-final defeat against Liverpool highlighted the need for Edu to wrap up the signing of Arthur Melo from Juventus.
Albert Sambi Lokonga was tasked with playing in the anchor-man role with Martin Odegaard occasionally pivoting alongside him, and Emile Smith Rowe also dropping deep at times throughout the match.
However, the young midfielder showed his inexperience throughout the game and misplaced passes in critical situations, which would have been more likely to reach the intended teammate if Arthur was in possession of the ball.
