Mikel Arteta just got hit with some surprising news: Edu Gaspar, Arsenal’s key sporting director and one of Arteta’s closest pals, is getting ready to leave the club. Edu has played a huge role in reshaping the Gunners’ squad, and his departure is a big deal for Arsenal’s future.

Since he rejoined Arsenal in 2019 as technical director, Edu has been at the center of the club’s transformation. He helped move on underperforming stars like Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang while bringing in key players like Martin Odegaard, William Saliba, and Declan Rice. Thanks to his leadership, Arsenal went from struggling to serious title contenders, finishing as Premier League runners-up to Manchester City in the last two seasons.

But after some recent talks with the Arsenal board about internal changes, Edu has decided to step down. While the exact reason is still under wraps, SunSport says he might be heading to a new gig with Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest. If that happens, Edu could oversee Marinakis’ multi-club operations, including Olympiacos in Greece and Rio Ave in Portugal, and potentially triple his current salary at Arsenal.

Edu’s exit adds to the tension at the Emirates after a 1-0 loss to Newcastle, and fans are already voicing their worries online. One supporter said, “The downfall of Arsenal begins,” while another chimed in, “I hate changes like this.” Arteta, who has leaned on Edu’s guidance and vision, might face some tough questions about the departure during his upcoming Champions League press conference before facing Inter Milan.

With Edu’s leadership being a big part of Arsenal’s recent success, his absence could leave a tricky gap for the club to fill.
