Seaman on Edu's departure: It's going to be a sad day for Arsenal fans

That is according to club legend David Seaman, who spoke glowingly about the club’s former midfielder.

Edu, who was a key ally of boss Mikel Arteta, is likely to join Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis’ slate of teams.

Seaman told talkSPORT Breakfast earlier this morning: "It's a shame for the club, it's a great loss.

"Not only is he a great guy, but he's a great friend.

"He was really good at what he was doing. If it does happen, it's going to be a sad day for Arsenal fans."
