Arsenal to announce new director soon
Emerging reports claim that a new sporting director would soon be announced by the North London outfit Arsenal in the coming weeks as talks are already in place.
The Gunners team have been in search for a director since Sven Mislintat left the club after falling out with some of the club’s chiefs over transfer issues.
An attempt was made to secure the signature of former AS Roma chief Monchi but it did not work through as he decided to join the Spanish La Liga outfit Sevilla while former Arsenal player Marc Overmars has been tied by his club.
However, it is claimed that the Gunners are already in talks with a former player Edu as they hope to land him as the new director of football so that he could talk up transfer issues as the summer window draws near.
Edu is currently working with the Brazilian national teams as their general coordinator and this could be an opportunity for him to work with a club also but it is suggested that he would not be joining anytime soon but after Brazil’s Copa America campaign in the summer.
Meanwhile, the Gunners are hoping to do some business as soon as the summer transfer window is opened.
