Arsenal is in need of a new sporting director after Edu unexpectedly left the club at the end of 2024. Edu had been highly effective during his time at the club, playing a key role in helping Mikel Arteta secure top players who enabled the team to challenge for several honours. However, following his departure, the Gunners have yet to appoint a successor, with the expectation that they will do so by the end of the season.
The club has a list of potential candidates for the role, as it is clear that they want to appoint a new sporting director as quickly as possible. Across Europe, there are several highly regarded directors who could replace Edu and continue the good work done at Arsenal. At present, there are numerous names on the club’s radar, and according to Le10 Sport, one of those under consideration is Luis Campos.
The Gunners have been following Campos’ career closely, especially during his time at several top clubs in France. He is now regarded as one of the best sporting directors in the world. Arsenal is aware of his capabilities and believes that he would be an excellent addition to the club, offering an upgrade on Edu’s work. His track record and knowledge of European football would undoubtedly make him a valuable asset for the Gunners.
However, attracting Campos to Arsenal may prove to be a difficult task. He is currently with Paris Saint-Germain, where he is performing exceptionally well and seems to be content in his role. PSG has reaped the benefits of his expertise, and it remains to be seen whether he would be willing to leave the club, especially given his current success and the stability he enjoys there.
Campos is considered one of the top leaders in European football, and his presence at any club would certainly make a significant difference. Should he make the move to Arsenal, it is believed that he would elevate the team to new heights. However, securing his services will likely require overcoming significant challenges, particularly as PSG will be reluctant to lose such an influential figure.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Can’t emphasize how important it is for the Club to get this right. This appointment should serve as a stepping stone to smoothly end the Arteta.
Campos would bring maturity, skills and experience to the Club…and help us to attract world-class talent.
Two other changes needed too (1) new SD should own the squad (2) manager title to be downgraded to coach.
We should break the bank for Luis Campos.

Really messed us up in the window without a sporting director.
We have to get it sorted for the Summer.
But we are linked to everyone as we are players.
Usually, not a lot happens.
No one wants to take a step down. Is not going to happen IMO.
We have a lot here on Just Arsenal. Just appoint one of them. 😎😊
We had a sporting director in the summer window and got it horribly wrong. No use getting sporting director if it’s to an Arteta yes man, looking for tried and tested players linked to friendly agents. Also this Campos has made his reputation with a club which up to a season ago had unlimited funds but never managed to win anything outside their one team league.
What to worry.. without them, Arsenal will go on.. anyone who want to buy our player, go ahead.. anyone who want to join Arsenal.. go ahead.. sell or buy player is not Arsenal problem.. just play and keep winning.. that’s matter!!
