Edu, the Technical Director of Arsenal, recently addressed concerns about the team's lack of a focal striker. Despite facing criticism from fans, he insists that the club is not worried and already has their sights set on potential transfer targets for the upcoming summer.
Under the leadership of manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has faced some challenges this season due to their lack of a dominant striker. However, they have shown great improvement in recent months, scoring an impressive 21 goals in just five Premier League games. The team was even linked to a potential move for Ivan Toney during the January transfer window, but the £80 million price tag set by Brentford ultimately deterred any interested clubs.
After their recent 1-0 defeat to Porto in the Champions League, former Arsenal player Theo Walcott publicly urged the club to make a move for Toney at the end of the season. However, Edu remains confident in the team and does not share the same concerns as some fans. In a recent interview with Rio Ferdinand, he reassured that the club has a clear plan in place and is always looking ahead to improve.
Edu explained, "We understand the fans' requests, but we have our own ideas and targets. We always plan ahead for what we will face. I would only be worried if we weren't scoring or creating chances, but that is not the case. We are constantly improving and our goal is to get better every year."
As the Technical Director, Edu also has a lot on his plate, not just for the first team but also for the women's team and academy. However, he is excited about the upcoming summer and the potential for new signings. He shared, "There is a lot happening at the moment. My role involves overseeing all aspects of the club, not just the first team. We are already starting to plan for the summer and recruitment, and it's a busy but enjoyable time for us."
In conclusion, while there may be some concerns from fans about the lack of a focal striker, Edu and the Arsenal team are confident in their plans and continue to strive for improvement. With the upcoming summer transfer window and a dedicated team behind them, the club is determined to keep pushing forward and achieving success.
