Relatively unheard of before signing, the Brazilian has become an important player for the Gunners even though he is only 18 years old.<\/p>\n<p>He has netted seven goals in eight appearances so far, including back-to-back braces in the EFL Cup against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>It was in the game against the Reds that he caught Klopp&#8217;s attention, with the German suggesting he was the &#8220;talent of the century&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about his remarks regarding the youngster, Klopp told Brazilian television show Esporte Interativo: &#8220;It was not in this game only. I watch a lot of football, so I saw the Europa League games of Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s 18 years old, right? So our scouting department is all over the world and stuff like this, but I think Edu gets all the credit for that signing \u2013 he came from\u2026 wherever.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chris Smalling!
