Mikel Arteta says the role played by Edu at Arsenal is “really important” and hopes the club’s technical director remains in his post for “a long time”.
Earlier this week reports emerged, external on Arsenal opening contract talks with Edu, who became the club’s first technical director in 2019.
The 44-year-old has been instrumental in bringing new faces to the club, such as Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko – key players in helping the Gunners sit top of the Premier League.
Arteta says Edu is part of a club hierarchy that is prepared to challenge him if as a coach he wants something that is “not the best thing for the club”.
“I just hope he stays here for a long time because I think it’s going to be a really positive thing for the club,” Arteta said.
