Arsene Wenger 'set to poach Arsenal's analytics guru who helped replace him as manager in 2018' for a role at FIFA

Arsene Wenger is set to return to former club Arsenal to poach their data and analytics guru and bring him on board at FIFA.

Jaeson Rosenfeld has led Arsenal’s internal analytics company for the past decade and was involved in the search to replace Wenger when he left the Gunners after 22 years in 2018, as well as the process not to offer Unai Emery a new contract last summer.

But his responsibilities have diminished in recent months during the restructuring of the Arsenal hierarchy and now Wenger wants to take advantage of that and bring him to FIFA.
