New Arsenal technical director Edu has detailed what he is seeking in new signings.
Edu admits character is important in any new arrival.
He told arsenal.com, "People have to understand that talent is not enough anymore. Everybody fights for talent, everybody talks about talent, and of course talent is important for footballers, but in that real world it is not enough anymore. We have to look after them. They have to express themselves, they have to feel comfortable with the club, the players have to understand what the club thinks about them and what they think about us as well.
"So in the end we have to work together, at the same time in the same direction, and that message is important for everybody to understand, even for the players, talented players, they have to understand that talent is not enough anymore.
"They have to work hard, they have to look after themselves, they have to prepare before the training, they have to prepare well at the training, they have to look after themselves after the training, outside the pitch. That makes them even better. Talent with that means they are going to be at the top, top level."
