New Arsenal signing David Luiz believes his countryman Edu is ready to serve as the club's technical director.

The former Gunners central midfielder was recruited for the job after his impressive stint with the Brazilian national team as a general manager.

And his countryman Luiz only had positive things to say about Edu.

"Edu was a great player, a very talented player - someone who everyone enjoyed watching play," Luiz said to Arsenal.com.

"He was a great guy, a great person and he is ready for this role because he's intelligent, he knows how to be with people, he knows how to win things, he is a winner and he is going to try to improve the club.

"I think around the world people are attracted to good players, especially Brazilian players, so Gilberto was one of the best Brazilian players, maybe the best Brazilian player who played here.

"I had the opportunity to play with Denilson when I was 10 years old, we played together. Gabriel is my friend, Andres Santos is my friend, so everyone is trying to do big things with this big club."
