Arsenal have moved to start negotiations over extending technical director Edu Gaspar's contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Edu has shown over the past few transfer windows that he is capable of securing crucial transfer signings including the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalhaes. He has also proved he is able to negotiate transfer exits for fringe players with the Gunners receiving significant transfer fees and moving high earners off the wage bill.
Arsenal are reaping the benefits of the club’s summer transfer business as they currently sit top of the Premier League after 11 matches, leading reigning champions Manchester City by two points. Edu, who played for the Gunners, is quickly establishing himself as one of the most impressive football administrators in European football.
