Tim Steidten is reportedly a target to join Arsenal as their Sporting Director, following Edu’s resignation several days ago, in order to join Nottingham Forest.
Steidten has been seen less and less at the West Ham training ground, whilst his brother Moritz has also been conspicuous by his absence.
In a season where the Head Coach has come under scrutiny, with Everton being dubbed “el sackio” the latest rumours around Steidten will add further instability to the club.
Arsenal will want to undertake significant due dilligence on their next hire, and other names that are in the frame include Leonardo, Ralph Rangnick, Phil Giles and Monchi.
Steidten was linked to Liverpool earlier this year and said at the time “I’ve heard that I am supposed to be on the list at Liverpool. It is one of the biggest clubs in the world so it’s an honor. But so far no one from Liverpool has contacted me.” So far he has remained tight lipped regarding the reported interest from Arsenal.
Claret & Hugh will seek clarification from the club on this breaking story.
