Arsenal are keen on offering technical director Edu Gaspar a new deal amid rumours of interest from other clubs across the continent.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are eager to secure Eud Gaspar’s long-term future at the club and offer the 44-year-old a new deal at the Emirates. The club could accelerate efforts to extend his stay following rumoured interest from top clubs across the continent.

The previous 18 months have been crucial for Arsenal in establishing themselves as a force in English football. After a tumultuous period, the Gunners became irrelevant amid chaos within the club and irregular transfer activity; they are now becoming a challenging team.

Fans needed a calming presence and someone who would bring order to the chaos. In the background of Raul Sanllehi’s turbulent reign, Edu Gaspar has come to the forefront to lead by example. The 44-year-old Brazilian was instrumental in appointing Mikel Arteta as Arsenal’s manager. The duo have solved several problems on several fronts since.

Edu and Arteta understand the current project at Arsenal, and the executive delivered the right players in 2021. Bringing in young players for good value was good business, including splashing £50 million on Ben White.

Edu was also instrumental in offloading problematic players and trimming the deadwood that Arteta did not want. Most of those were on huge wages, and Arsenal has significantly reduced that number.

Arsenal offered Mikel Arteta a new deal at the latter stages of last season and wants to repeat the trick with Edu. The 44-year-old technical director has attracted plenty of high-profile interest from rival clubs.

There’s a need for continuity, and Edu is a key part of their future. As Arsenal sits at the Premier League summit, his work has proved crucial. The Gunners are confident about retaining the 44-year-old key man in a longer-term deal.

Signing a new contract will boost the confidence around the Emirates, particularly ahead of the January window, as Arsenal will be active.

Edu’s presence is also critical for Arsenal in extending deals with Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba. Arsenal must ensure Edu remains for the longer term, as the ball could start rolling about his extension.
