This news, if confirmed, would signal the end of a transformative period for the club’s recruitment strategy under Edu’s leadership.

A familiar face in Arsenal’s media content, Edu has often been seen welcoming new players to the Sobha Training Centre alongside Arteta, embodying the club’s culture and values.
His understanding of Arsenal’s identity, dating back to his days with the Invincibles, has been central to his role.
Upon his appointment in 2019, then-director Raul Sanllehi noted,
“Edu understands the club and what we stand for to our millions of fans around the world.”
If Edu’s departure is confirmed, it would undoubtedly be a significant development for Arsenal, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further details.
A club announcement is expected soon, providing clarity on Edu’s decision to step down.
