Arsenal technical director Edu is overseeing his club’s summer rebuild (Picture: Arsenal FC)Arsenal are hopeful of accelerating their summer rebuild in the next week and are confident of signing two more players at a combined cost of £70million. The Gunners appear to be unabashed and have moved on from the pain of missing out on Champions League qualification to their north London rivals Tottenham. Brazilian youngster Marquinhos has also arrived from Sao Paulo, but Arsenal are far from done there, according to the Daily Mail. Arsenal’s opening bid of around £30million fell well short of City’s valuation but all parties are confident a compromise can be agreed swiftly. Arteta will then turn his attention to signing Ajax’s versatile defender Lisandro Martinez who had also been on the radar of Manchester United.
