Edu reflected on how he managed to settle so quickly into life in England: “When I signed for Arsenal I was really looking forward to coming here,” he said. “Not only to play for the club. I was also excited about living in the country and studying English and I think that's important.
“I have seen some Brazilian players who have gone to France or to Italy but they don't feel good there because they don't want to live there, they just want to play football and then leave. But I really wanted to live and settle here, so I think that has helped me.
“Also it's good that Arsenal is in London because everything is here. If you mention London to a Brazilian they will tell you it's unbelievable, there are also some nice Brazilian restaurants in London too!”
