Edu Gaspar has taken the transfer window for Arsenal to a level which has left his biggest critics clutching at straws to find something to hold against him. These typically boil down to perhaps the vague and warped reported wages of Kai Havertz, or the fact he’s had a vacation during the window or even that he’s enjoyed a cold pint with his family, as pictured on Instagram.
The reality is that the Brazilian is spearheading both a recruitment evolution and a drastic and ruthless improvement in the club’s sales department. On the side of incomings, the move for Kai Havertz is an ambitious and risky one backed by his colleague and the club’s manager Mikel Arteta.
The pair have an exceptional working relationship and have worked in tandem to plan and construct a group that has gone from eleventh in the league when they were brought together, to a title challenge in just over three years. Speaking to football.london Edu demonstrates a great passion for his work and was delighted with the progress of Jakub Kiwior in a conversation after the 2-0 win at Newcastle United simply saying, "He’s good, right?"
