Andrea Berta has emerged as a candidate to become Arsenal 's next sporting director, sources have told ESPN.

Arsenal are looking to hire a replacement for Edu and former Atletico Madrid Andrea Berta has emerged as a leading candidate.

Arsenal’s search for a new sporting director following Edu’s shock exit has lead them to former Atletico Madrid chief Andrea Berta. The Gunners were left stunned last November when Edu resigned from his post after over five years of working behind-the-scenes at the Emirates.
