Arsenal Searches for New Sporting Director

Arsenal is in search of a new sporting director following Edu's decision to leave the club for a role under Evangelos Marinakis. Potential candidates include Real Sociedad's former director Roberto Olabe and Monaco's Thiago Scuro, both noted for their impressive track records in talent development and transfer negotiations. Former Arsenal players like Per Mertesacker and Tomas Rosicky are also mentioned as possible successors. Jason Ayto, Edu's assistant, will fill the role temporarily as Arsenal conducts a thorough global search to find the ideal candidate. The club's management, including Mikel Arteta, will discuss succession plans with the owners in an upcoming meeting in Los Angeles.
