Arsenal are said to want to sign a former Tottenham player who left the club on a free in 2019
The Gunners are drawing up their target list this summer as they look to win the league title Premier League for the first time since the 2003/04 season
Mikel Arteta’s side have moved closer to the title race over the past two seasons, but ultimately lost to series winners Manchester City
This summer they will be looking to improve further to get over the line and are interested in bringing a former Spurs star back to north London
Five years ago, Marcus Edwards was allowed to leave Spurs on a free and later joined Portuguese side Vitoria de Guimaraes
Now 25, he plays for Sporting CP but is expected to leave this summer after being dropped from coach Ruben Amorim’s plans
According to CaughtOffside, reports in Portugal reveal that he is attracting interest from former club’s rivals Arsenal
If there is one area where Arsenal can improve next season it is in attack
The Gunners’ defensive record is by far their best, with just 29 goals conceded across the entire Premier League season
However, Man City’s attacking superiority was what ultimately helped them win their fourth successive Premier League title
Arsenal still have a midfield of incredible quality, but at the top level it’s all about good margins and perhaps signing Edwards could give them something different
Arteta’s side averaged 12
5 key passes per game last season, lower than Man City’s average of 14
The 25-year-old can improve this creativity when he plays as an attacking midfielder
Despite being deemed not good enough for Spurs, Arteta has proven that he is capable of getting the best out of players even when others cannot
