Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal boss, is using the international break to closely observe players remaining at the club. Among these players is Khayon Edwards, a 20-year-old forward described as a “prolific hitman.”
Former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has recommended Edwards to Arteta as a player worth considering, suggesting that he may outshine the likes of Osimhen and Toney.
Edwards, known for his goal-scoring ability and work ethic, has been part of Europa League squads and has made several appearances this season, impressing with his performances in the Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy. Arteta is likely to give Edwards a chance to showcase his talents in upcoming behind-closed-doors friendlies, providing a platform for the young forward to exhibit his
“potency in front of goal” and potentially secure a more prominent role within the Arsenal squad. The opportunity during these breaks can be instrumental in shaping Edwards’ future at the club, with his
skillset drawing comparisons to fellow academy graduate Eddie Nketiah. Arsenal’s focus on nurturing young talent like Edwards aligns with their commitment to building a promising team for the future.
