With Edu Gaspar now assuming over-arching responsibility for Arsenal Academy activities following his promotion to the sporting director role, it could be fantastic news for a number of the club's most promising prospects.
It was announced on Friday morning that in addition to the Brazilian's technical director role, he will have even more of an influence over the club's academy operations as he will be working together with Per Mertesacker to strengthen the integration between the men's first team and academy.
This means the search is on to find the Gunners' next academy graduate to follow in the footsteps of current first-teamers Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith-Rowe and Eddie Nketiah. Judging by Edu's comments amid news of his promotion, it's certainly a top priority for him moving forward.
