Arsenal have come a long way since the arrivals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Matteo Guendouzi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to name but a few. Arsenal's former lead recruiter Sven Mislintat was behind these arrivals and now the Gunners starting eleven that sits six points clear at the top has little-to-no influence of the German as if he was never even there.
Now Mislintat finds himself in his next job having been a key member of the recruitment and executive setup at German club Stuttgart. The man dubbed 'Diamond Eyes' from his time at Borussia Dortmund said that he and the Bundesliga side failed to find common ground to continue and so he left.
Now he finds himself in his most influential role yet as sporting director at Ajax. A role that is currently occupied by Edu Gaspar at Arsenal after a promotion last year having succeeded in taking the reins from both Mislintat and previous Head of Football Raul Sanllehi.
