Mikel Arteta’s side haven’t won any of their three previous league games, and Arsenal will need to show a strong reaction away to Inter Milan in the Champions League.
Of course, Edu won’t be around to see the conclusion of that campaign, with his departure now confirmed.
Edu is being lined up for a role with Evangelos Marinakis, the Nottingham Forest owner who also owns Olympiacos and Rio Ave as part of his footballing group.
Arsenal will consider internal candidates to replace Edu
In terms of finding a replacement for Edu, sources have told Arsenal Insider that the club are biding their time, and are even considering in-house options.
