Arsenal confirmed the departure of sporting director Edu Gaspar on Monday amid rumours that he could be on his way to join Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis’ list of clubs. Marinakis also owns Greek side Olympiacos and Portuguese outfit Rio Ave.
Edu is expected to be announced as chief executive and have a wide range of responsibilities after deciding to leave the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal’s last match with their sporting director in situ was their 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Saturday.
The Magpies ended a run of five without a win in the Premier League at the weekend and head to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side currently sit 3rd in the Premier League but are just four points ahead of the Magpies who currently occupy 11th place.
