Arsenal have confirmed the appointment of Andrea Berta as their new sporting director.

Italian Berta, 53, becomes the permanent successor to Edu after the former Gunners midfielder left Emirates Stadium at the end of 2024.

Edu's deputy Jason Ayto was appointed interim sporting director following the Brazilian's departure and was a serious contender for the position.

There is hope that Berta will be in attendance for Arsenal's Premier League meeting with Fulham on Tuesday night.
