Mislintat lifts lid on Arsenal transfer strategy shift which led him away from the Emirates

Sven Mislintat has offered an alarming assessment of Arsenal's recruitment strategy, with the transfer specialist revealing that broken promises and a change in direction led him away from the club.

The German was appointed by the Gunners in November 2017.

He left that role in February 2018 after helping to oversee deals for the likes of Matteo Guendouzi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bernd Leno.

Mislintat claims that he had been promised a role as technical director by Arsenal chiefs prior to his departure, with Edu having since been brought back to north London in that post.
