Arsenal’s sporting director Edu Gaspar has confirmed that he will be leaving the club, and The Athletic’s David Ornstein has provided an update on the situation, claiming that the Gunners will begin a recruitment process to replace him with Jason Ayto in temporary charge.
It was confirmed by Arsenal earlier this week that Edu had made the decision to head through the exit door. The Spanish director played a crucial role behind the scenes for the north London outfit as they looked to become Premier League title challengers with Mikel Arteta at the helm.
Arteta reacted to the news in a press conference shortly after it was confirmed.
Ornstein has now suggested that Ayto will be placed in temporary charge in place of Edu and Arsenal are set to conduct a process to secure a permanent successor.
