Future of Edu a worry for Wenger

ARSENE WENGER wants Edu to stay at Arsenal but will not see the club held to ransom over new contract negotiations.

While not ruling out the possibility of extending his stay with the Gunners beyond the end of the season when his current deal expires, the Brazilian midfielder claims he has several Spanish clubs keen on securing his services.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has indicated the Catalan club would be interested in talking to Edu, something they would be free to do in January.
