In every issue of the matchday programme this season, we hear exclusively from significant figures at the club on our Official Voice pages. Recently we heard from our director of football operations, Richard Garlick, who joined the club earlier this year.
I started work at Arsenal in May, so I was straight into the thick of the transfer window in my first couple of months here. Since then it’s been nice to have a bit of breathing space, and my day-to-day role has broadened across the club.
While the transfer window was open, my job was virtually 100 per cent supporting Edu, Mikel and Per around player acquisitions and sales – whether that was men’s first team or academy, renewing contracts and finding solutions for players that we were selling, or sending players out on loan.
