The Brazilian appears <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/edu-drops-arsenal-for-another-premier-league-side-sporting-director-to-join-nottingham-forest/blt155f023050651041" target="_blank">set to join Nottingham Forest's</a> multi-club group to oversee their transfer business as they look to solidify their good start to the Premier League season. Edu's work at the Emirates has paid dividends in recent years, but the 46-year-old says it is time for a new challenge.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking on the club website, Edu said: "This was an incredibly hard decision to make. Arsenal has given me the opportunity to work with so many amazing people and the chance to be a part of something so special in the club’s history. It has been a special journey and I thank Stan, Josh, Tim and Lord Harris for the support they’ve given me.</p><p>"I’ve loved working with so many great colleagues across our men’s, women’s and academy teams, especially Mikel, who has become a great friend. Now it is time to pursue a different challenge. Arsenal will always remain in my heart. I wish the club and its supporters only good things and all the very best."</p>

WHAT EDU SAID

<p>Edu's resignation from his role at Arsenal represents a big change for both the director and the club. The former midfielder was responsible for bringing Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard to the Gunners and Forest fans will be hoping he can work his magic to elevate them into a strong Premier League team, similar to what Monchi has done to Aston Villa.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Arsenal will be on the hunt for a new sporting director who can continue to provide Mikel Arteta with the tools to compete for the top-flight crown. Meanwhile, Edu has aspirations of becoming CEO at Forest and could land a role with Greek side Olympiacos and Portuguese club Rio Ave as part of the Marinakis group. </p>
