If the poor defeat to Newcastle United wasn’t enough to worry Arsenal fans, sporting director Edu Gaspar has decided to leave his role with the club.
Edu rejoined Arsenal in 2019, initially as the club’s technical director before he was then promoted to the role of sporting director three years later.
The Brazilian, who made 127 appearances for Arsenal as a player, had a brilliant working relationship with Mikel Arteta, explaining why so many supporters in N5 may be worried by the news.
Edu has been key to so many excellent signings at Arsenal, including a bargain deal for Gabriel Martinelli who was plucked from the Brazilian second tier.
Amid a difficult run of form, the timing of the news isn’t ideal for the Gunners, who will need to find a swift replacement.
Edu’s position had become increasingly uncomfortable at Arsenal
That being said, TBR Football understands that there have been issues between the club’s hierarchy and Edu, which saw his position become increasingly uncomfortable.
Sources have confirmed that Edu has decided to leave his role with the club, a decision that wasn’t taken lightly.
