Source: Arsenal sporting director Edu set for exit

Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar will leave the club, a source has told ESPN.

Edu joined Arsenal in July 2019 as technical director and led a culture shift at the club that saw Mikel Arteta hired as manager and the side battle for the Premier League title. Edu was later promoted to sporting director in November 2022.

It is unclear when he will leave the club.

The Spaniard’s tenure as director came after a four-year playing career between 2001 and 2005, during which he won the Premier League title in 2001-02 and 2003-04 under Arsene Wenger.
