Edu Gaspar is set to leave Arsenal after resigning from his post as sporting director on Monday.
The Brazilian has been at the Emirates Stadium since 2019, but is now set to depart in order to join Evangelos Marinakis’ multi-club system. The Greek billionaire is the owner of Nottingham Forest as well as Olympiacos and Rio Ave in Portugal.
Since 2019, Edu has done a huge job in overhauling the Arsenal squad, getting rid of huge players like Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Brazilian has also been associated with the incomings of a number of high profile players, such as Kai Havertz and Declan Rice.
Gabriel Martinelli: Edu had not technically joined Arsenal when Gabriel Martinelli arrived in north London. The former Invincible had his finger prints over the deal though, and for just £7million it has turned out be an absolute steal.
Martin Odegaard: Initially brought in on loan, Martin Odegaard didn’t quite set the world alight in his first half season at Arsenal. The signs were there though, and the Norwegian was brought in on a permanent for just £30million. He has gone on to be one of the greatest signings in Arsenal’s history and is a world class talent. Arguably the best deal of Edu’s tenure.
