Arsenal intend to appoint a new sporting director in March. The position has been vacant since Edu Gaspar’s resignation on November 4, which saw his deputy Jason Ayto promoted on an interim basis.
Ayto is a candidate for the position and is joined by Dan Ashworth, Andrea Berta, Roberto Olabe and Thiago Scuro as candidates.
Arsenal’s ownership, KSE, is heavily involved in the matter and an ultimate call will not be made without its consultation, approval and sign-off.
