Wenger urges patience over Edu

Arsenal's new boy from Brazil will be handed Emmanuel Petit's old number 17 shirt at Highbury, but £6m Edu will have to wait to jump into the Frenchman's midfield boots.

Manager Arsene Wenger has finally secured Edu's signature, more than six months after the 22-year-old Corinthians star was turned back from Heathrow in tears by customs officers who discovered he was trying to enter Britain on a false passport.
