The Gunners sporting director has spoken on Arsenal's transfer plans going into the final day of the window
Edu has provided an update on Arsenal's plans ahead of transfer deadline day on Friday.
Speaking after the draw to TNT Sports, Edu revealed that he was excited to see Arsenal back in the Champions League after a six-year hiatus. " Very traditional teams," he said reacting to Arsenal's opponents. "Strong ones. You cannot choose the teams you’re going to play. All of them are hard. We’re happy to be in the competition which is the most important.
"When we’re talking about Arsenal we have to play well in all competitions. It will be important to do our best and perform in the best way possible.
"I think the fans and the club really deserve (to be in the Champions League). We worked so hard to come back. It’s a big bonus from last season, the way we behaved as a club and the way everyone worked was to be back in the Champions League."
With the transfer window just over 24 hours from closing, Edu was also pressed on Arsenal's plans for the remainder of the transfer window.
"We made one very strong strategy to be proactive at the beginning of the window," he said. "I think we did it. Now we are talking about trying to balance the squad a bit better. We keep talking to a few clubs. So far we are happy with the transfer window and we have to say thankyou to everybody who has been worked in the club to make that happen. So, good. An exciting season is ahead of us."
Having added Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and David Raya with plenty of time to spare in the window Arsenal are not currently expected to bring in any further players. The club however, remain open to the prospect of a further addition to Mikel Arteta's squad if the right deal presents itself.

If Arsenal truly want to win trophies, they should have buy Mbappe or Osumeh. This is only position Arsenal looking weak 😳 😒 😑. Block Tierney not to leave, Sell Nketia, Keep Sanogo and bring in Mbappe or Osumeh. sell 3 useless players doing nothing at the moment.
that's why I said his deal should have been blocked cause we still need fullback. In the next 3 seasons to come you will know who is Sanogo. Nketia is not anywhere near Sanogo's quality. We need a striker that will force our opponent defenders uncomfortable. Mbappe or Osumeh should be in Arsenal fc cause we are one of the big clubs in the world 🌎.

Arsenal have got such knowledgeable supporters that any of them can come in on a free transfer. Do not leave it too late.

Very true. Arsenal is going to struggle without a proven goal scorer.
