Arsenal technical director Edu has teased the prospect of further addition at the club in the summer, insisting that the North London giants are ‘prepared for every situation’.
Mikel Arteta’s team have been one of the biggest spenders in world football, spending almost £120m during the summer transfer window.
The North London giants sealed a £35m transfer for Oleksandr Zinchenko last week as Arteta moved quickly following Lisandro Martinez’s decision to join their direct PL rivals Man Utd.
Though fans are understandably pleased with the side’s transfer business, many still hope for the addition of another attacker.
And, in encouraging words for fans hoping for more additions, Edu claims that the team are prepared to move for players if the right opportunity arises.
‘I think we have to be prepared for every situation,’ Edu told SkySports.
‘We still feel the transfer window is open and the most important thing is to be prepared for everything, every scenario, because opportunities can happen.
‘Clubs can approach us, players probably want to go on loan, so there’s still lots to do, but again, being prepared for me is the most important [thing] and for sure we are very much prepared for almost everything.’
The Gunners failure to make the top four last eason threatened to scupper Spanish manager’s plans in the transfer window.
However, both Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko opted to join the Gunners instead of signing for a team that participate in the Champions League.
Asked if the team have been able to secure the services of players they wanted to despite failing to qualify for the Champions League, Edu says nearly every target has been obtained.
‘Yes, almost 100 per cent of them,’ said Edu.
‘I understand sometimes players want to play Champions League football, but I think we can offer something very special for the players as well.
‘It’s not only Champions League, but you can be part of a group of players which can achieve something very special for this football club. And then I always ask them if they want to be part of the project we’ve been building as we’re doing.
‘I’m sure we will do something very special for this football club and then when I explain to the players, they really understand [it] and that’s why they’re here.’
