An Arsenal transfer could be fully finalised as early as today after the personal terms hurdle was overcome, and Edu’s persistence in holding out for the best deal possible looks to have paid off.
Edu has worked wonders in the sporting director role at Arsenal, with his masterful manoeuvring of the transfer market helping to assemble a squad many believe are favourites to win the Premier League.
Arsenal have secured two major signings this summer, with David Raya (£27m) and Riccardo Calafiori (£42m) on board.
Elsewhere, personal terms are agreed with Mikel Merino on a four-year contract. Real Sociedad president, Jokin Apperibay, was in England on Wednesday to finalise a club-to-club agreement with Arsenal.
