Arsenal’s sporting director Edu Gaspar resigned on Monday, citing his desire to “pursue a different challenge” after spearheading the Gunners’ revival in recent years.
The former midfielder, who was part of the Arsenal side that last won the Premier League in 2003/04, was installed as the club’s first technical director in 2019.
The 46-year-old played a key role in the appointment of Mikel Arteta as manager later that year.
