Arsenal Fans Convinced Edu Leaked Mikel Arteta’s Tactics in Raheem Sterling Loan Signing Video
Arsenal supporters are in a frenzy after spotting what they believe is a tactical overview of Mikel Arteta’s plan on a whiteboard in Edu’s Instagram video announcing the loan signing of Raheem Sterling.
In the clip, Edu shared a one-minute video acknowledging the key personnel involved in getting the deal done at the eleventh hour on transfer deadline day. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed a series of diagrams and a list of young players labeled as "Loans" on the wall behind him.
The list includes names like Albert Sambi Lokonga, who is currently on loan at Sevilla, and Marquinhos, who is at Brazilian side Fluminense. This has led to widespread speculation that Edu may have inadvertently revealed parts of Arteta’s game plan.
But is this really a major breach of security, or just a harmless behind-the-scenes look at the club’s planning? One thing’s for sure – the video has sparked intense debate among Arsenal fans, with some calling out Edu for "accidentally" showing the team’s hand.
Sterling, of course, is set to spend the rest of the season on loan at the Emirates Stadium after struggling for game time at Chelsea. The 29-year-old has already started to get involved with his new teammates, spotted watching the Gunners take on Brighton at the weekend.
For Arsenal fans, the arrival of Sterling is a major coup, even if he doesn’t get game time straight away. But in the meantime, it’s hard not to wonder if Edu’s Instagram mishap has given away a few too many secrets about Arteta’s tactics.
