Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is set to improve Edu's 'Football Intelligence' recruitment unit after making changes to the boardroom.
Kroenke released a rare statement last week to confirm his son Josh had joined him as co-chair, while board member Tim Lewis was promoted to executive vice-chair. Kroenke is now expected to give Edu greater power after the ex-midfielder's promotion last year.
Edu became Arsenal's first ever sporting director - leading their transfer business - in November. The Brazilian is set to be given the green light to bolster the Premier League club's recruitment department, with two promotions expected to be handed out.
