Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi is reportedly being considered by Premier League club Everton for a potential role. Sanllehi spent nearly three years at the Emirates Stadium following his 14-year spell at Barcelona before leaving during the Covid-19 pandemic.
He served as a key part of the club's attempt to rebuild following Arsene Wenger's departure in 2018. Sanllehi replaced former CEO Ivan Gazidis and spent the majority of his reign in north London implementing a new model of directorship.
A four-person team was formed, made up of head coach Mikel Arteta, technical director Edu Gaspar, head of football operations Huss Fahmy and academy manager Per Mertesacker. However, the model collapsed early and Sanllehi returned to Spain as director general for La Liga side Real Zaragoza.
