Edu meets with midfielder’s agent to complete key Arsenal signing

According to sources in Italy, Arsenal has ramped up their efforts to capture Arthur Melo after speaking with the Juventus midfielder’s agent.

Mikel Arteta wants the Gunners to acquire the Brazilian midfielder before the end of the January transfer season to enhance his options.

Juventus, on the other hand, has been hesitant to let the 25-year-old leave without first securing a replacement.

Arsenal are continuing their pursuit of Arthur, according to Gianluca Di Marzio of Goal Italy. The Gunners want to sign the midfielder on loan for the remainder of the season.

Arsenal’s technical director Edu met with Arthur’s agent, Federico Pastorello, at the club’s London Colney training base, according to the report.

Arthur, on the other hand, is eager to join Arsenal and has already spoken with Edu and Arteta about the possibility of a move to the Premier League.

Arthur has struggled to make an impact since joining Juventus from Barcelona in 2020, but he has recently been in fine form for Juventus, putting up a remarkable performance in their Coppa Italia victory over Sampdoria on Tuesday evening.

Following Ghana’s early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations, Arsenal is expected to have Thomas Partey ready for Sunday’s encounter against Burnley.

It was certainly a great disappointment for Thomas because he was representing his country and had high expectations for the competition at the time,’ On Wednesday, Arteta stated.

‘He’ll be totally focused and involved with Arsenal as quickly as possible now that he’s out.’
