According to a report, Arsenal is aware of the interests in their director, Edu Gaspar, and the Gunners are now looking to hand him a new contract.
Edu has worked closely with Mikel Arteta to restructure their recruitment department and has helped the club secure the signature of top performers.
Most of his signings since he took the job have not flopped and they are a good reason the Gunners are at the top of the Premier League table now.
His work has not gone unnoticed by other European sides; some are circling the Brazilian.
Arsenal knows this and the Gunners want to keep him with them for the long-term so that he can continue his fine work at the Emirates.
A report in the Daily Mail reveals they have opened talks with the Brazilian over a contract extension.
With their rebuild still in its early stages, they want him to commit his long-term future to them now.
This is to secure his commitment and allow him to remain in his role for the next few seasons without worrying about losing him to a rival or another European side.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Edu has been a key part of our recent success story and it makes sense to ensure he remains a part of this club.
He will bring more talented players to the Emirates, which should help us achieve additional success.

Edu has made a few errors in his earlier handling of a few youngsters, Saliba, Guendouzi and a Greek defender Wenger said will be a monster one day.
But he bounce back remarkable well and has redeemed his self with some latter signing, he can now wet his bread as he moves from strength to strength.
Give him the new deal as he is in the middle of something special.
@gunsmoke Saliba am sure of…. Even though I didn’t see d mistake u said edu made on saliba. He was loaned out to gain experience with no option to buy, and he is back now bcos he has gained experience.
Guendouzi I dnt see d top quality their, if he has any he would have been on the list of top teams like saliba is today. As for the Greek guy u put up their bcos wenger said he would be a monster one day, let me assume that’s a joke
We did let mavropanos go for a fraction of his value. We agreed a very low fee before the start of last season, but he showed himself to be at least a capable defender at the top level. Not good, but edu has made up for it.
I’m happy enough that Guendouzi has gone, but even he was let go for quite a bit less than we could have gotten if we’d been smarter about it- he is a France International and still young.
Saliba’s loan will be a mistake if he doesn’t sign a new deal soon, I think.
Ironic isnt it, that other clubs rightly rate Edu and may wish to tempt him away. When you consider the amount of foolish abuse he got as recently as May this year from our small but vociferous idiot section of fans!
They are nt idiots…… Admin delete this coment like u will do to me even though I never use insulting words
