Arsenal have appointed former Atletico Madrid chief Andrea Berta as their new sporting director. Berta replaces Edu, who left the club he re-joined in 2019.

Jason Ayto stepped in on an interim basis, but this did nothing to help the north Londoners continue their decent transfer record under Edu, who had overseen deals for the likes of Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice as technical and sporting director.
