Edu suggests "one or two" signings for Arsenal

Arsenal director Edu has confirmed that the Gunners will focus on signing "one or two" players in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners are set to lose Eddie Nketiah, Alexandre Lacazette and Mohamed Elneny on free transfers, while Pablo Mari, Lucas Torreira, Matteo Guendouzi, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Hector Bellerin could all complete permanent moves elsewhere.

Mikel Arteta's side are expected to be in the market for at least one new striker and midfielder this summer, and Edu has insisted that the club have a strategy in place for the summer.

Speaking to ESPN Brasil, Edu said: "We're going to focus on signing one or two players. After last summer's revolution, we need the next step. We've [got] our strategy ready."

Gabriel Jesus is thought to have emerged as a leading attacking target for Arsenal, who are also reported to have reignited their interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.

The Gunners now hold a two-point lead over Tottenham Hotspur in the top four of the Premier League table following back-to-back wins over Manchester United and Chelsea.
