Edu is leaving Arsenal: Fans make their feelings clear following sporting director's bombshell exit in blow to Mikel Arteta

Arsenal fans fear for the club's strategic future and see the exit of sporting director Edu as a 'huge loss'.

Mail Sport exclusively revealed on Monday morning that the highly rated Brazilian is set to leave the Gunners.

Edu, an ex-Arsenal midfielder, has captured key signings such as Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice since first returning to the club in 2019.

While some are welcoming his departure, many are concerned over what it says about the club's direction.

'For the first time in a while I’m genuinely a little uneasy about the state of our club moving forward,' wrote one fan on X, formerly Twitter.
