Whilst Mikel Arteta continues to remain in focus as the season draws to a close and Arsenal’s title challenge fades into a second-place finish in the league, a shift is coming in just a couple of weeks. With the conclusion of the Premier League, the attention will shift more onto sporting director Edu Gaspar.
The Brazilian is tasked with delivering the best summer transfer window of his career so far and expectations are very high. Suggestions already have the Gunners looking at spending around and even more than the £200 million mark, but depending on player sales the end figure could be higher, only time will tell.
Where Edu faces scrutiny is two-fold. Firstly is in the sales department with Arsenal struggling to generate figures akin to that of Liverpool and Chelsea when moving players on from the club.
