Exclusive: The actual reasons why Edu has decided to walk away from Arsenal…

Edu Gaspar’s departure from Arsenal has raised concerns among fans, especially following the disappointing defeat to Newcastle United.

The sporting director, who returned to the club in 2019 as technical director and was later promoted to sporting director, has played a significant role in the team’s recent successes.

Having made 127 appearances for Arsenal as a player, Edu developed a strong partnership with manager Mikel Arteta, which has left many supporters anxious about his exit.

His contributions to key signings, such as the acquisition of Gabriel Martinelli from Brazil’s second division, have been instrumental in the club’s progress.

However, the timing of his departure is less than ideal, particularly as the team navigates a challenging period.

Reports indicate that tensions between Edu and the club’s leadership have made his position increasingly untenable, leading to his decision to step away—a choice that was not made lightly.

Arteta is reportedly disappointed by the loss of a trusted ally but remains optimistic about finding a suitable replacement for Edu.

Despite his departure, Edu will always hold a special place in his heart for Arsenal, and his earlier remarks upon rejoining the club in 2019 now take on added significance.
