Arsenal are to cut several senior scouts across the continent in another round of cost-cutting measures, according to reports.
As many as 10 part-time youth scouts - who helped unearth talent such as Bukayo Saka, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith-Rowe - were axed last week because of financial cutbacks as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
The recruitment staff, who were informed of the news via email, will see their contracts expire at the end of June and not be renewed.
And now, according to The Mirror, the Gunners have informed a number of their scouts who are working abroad in Europe that their employment with the club will be terminated.
