Arsenal Sporting Director Edu Set to Leave, Expected to Join Nottingham Forest Multi-Club Group

Arsenal sporting director Edu is set to leave the club to join the newly-formed multi-club group that includes Nottingham Forest, according to The Athletic.

Edu has been with Arsenal since 2019 and has overseen the club's transfer business during that time.

He has been credited with helping to improve the club's squad, but he has also been criticized for some of his decisions, such as the signing of Nicolas Pepe.

Edu is expected to join the Nottingham Forest multi-club group, which is being led by Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest.

The group also includes Olympiacos, Standard Liege, and Al Hilal.

It is not yet clear what role Edu will play in the new group, but it is likely that he will be involved in the transfer business of the clubs involved.

Edu's departure will come as a blow to Arsenal, who are currently in the midst of a rebuild under Mikel Arteta.

The club has already lost Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette this summer, and they are now set to lose another key figure in Edu.

It remains to be seen who Arsenal will appoint as their new sporting director, but they will need to find someone with a proven track record of success if they are to continue to progress under Arteta.
