Arsenal chief Edu has been tipped to complete a piece of unfinished business and preside over the exits of up to seven stars in January, per a report.
Arsenal were English football’s biggest spenders in the summer when bringing in no fewer than six first-team stars. Their outlay hit close to the £150m mark, but the club weren’t quite as successful at making deals for their own players.
Just Joe Willock left on a permanent deal from their first-team corps. And per Football London, Edu has a ‘huge job’ on his hands in January.
The article notes that without European football this season, Arsenal’s squad won’t be as stretched as their rivals. As such, a number of fringe stars that would otherwise have been given the odd outing will be left to flounder in the reserves.
