Arsenal chief Edu Gaspar has been promoted to sporting director following his amazing work in the transfer market.
The Gunners have named Edu the club's first-ever sporting director. The Brazilian has been influential in overseeing huge change at the Emirates Stadium. Edu returned to the club in 2019 after successfully serving as a player under Arsene Wenger during the iconic Invincibles era.
In a statement confirming the news on the official Arsenal website, chief executive Vinai Venkatesham said: "We are delighted that Edu is recommitting his future to the club that he so clearly loves. Edu's promotion formalises his already growing influence over our Academy operations, and we look forward to Per and Edu working together to strengthen the integration between our men's first team and Academy yet further."
