Eduardo Cesar Daud Gaspar: Arsenal sporting director Eduardo Cesar Daud Gaspar, also known as 'Edu' is reportedly set to leave the Premier League club, with reason behind his exit yet to be known.

The Brazilian, a former Gunners midfielder who played for the side 217 times between 2001 and 2005, had joined the club as technical director in July 2019, six months before Arteta's appointment as manager and he was then promoted as the sporting director in 2022.

Edu has been responsible for capturing key signings to club such as Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice and for leading Arsenal's strong performance in recruitment and delivering key players to the club.
