Journalist Charles Watts stated in a recent interview with CaughtOffside that Arsenal may pursue Atalanta midfielder Ederson in the upcoming season. Watts stated,
"Ederson's star is rising with Atalanta, and when the two teams played in the Champions League a few weeks ago, Arsenal had a chance to see his talents up close."Given how well the Brazilian has been playing in Italy under Gian Piero Gasperini, it is not surprising that he is currently being connected to a number of teams, including Arsenal. This season, Ederson has made 10 appearances for Atalanta, with one assist and one goal in all competitions. This season, the Brazilian midfield maestro is excelling in Italy. He should be commended for averaging 1.3 interceptions, 0.9 clearances, 1.0 shoots, 0.6 crucial passes, and 0.7 dribbles per Serie A match.
