Unai Emery Claims Arsenal 'Need' New Sporting Director with Appointment 'Coming'

Unai Emery has revealed that a new sporting director is "coming" to Arsenal after the club narrowly missed out on appointing former Roma director Monchi to the position.

Arsenal face a tumultuous summer full of unanswered questions as Emery looks to leave his mark at the Emirates, with the vacant role of sporting director a major concern, just two months before the crucial transfer window.

It appeared that Emery would be reunited with Monchi, who had helped the Spanish manager to three successive Europe League titles at Sevilla, but the transfer guru has now opted for a return to the La Liga side.
