It was a choice that surprised everyone in London. A week ago, the Daily Mail announced the departure of Edu Gaspar, Arsenal's sporting director. Arriving at the club in 2016, he is one of the major players in Arsenal's revival in England and Europe with the arrival of Odegaard, Arteta and Rice. It's a strong man who is leaving but the Gunners are already on a file which leads to Ligue 1 and Monaco: Thiago Scuro. This 43-year-old Brazilian is considered Edu's worthy heir by the English management but the man is a tough nut to crack in negotiations.
Monaco shines under his command
His young profile which combines the sporty and the entertainment side is very popular. Monaco's good start to the season is no stranger to him given transfers and performances. He is behind the transfer of Disasi to Chelsea for 45 million euros and Fofana to Milan for 25 million euros. The promotion of young people like Akliouche or Ben Seghir fits perfectly with the formative identity of the Gunners and is the legacy of its past under Red Bull. He is a tough man in business but Arsenal want him for these precise qualities to extend the work done by Edu Gaspar.
