Arsenal behind the scenes: Raul Sanllehi’s exit, transfers impact and club structure

It was been a busy day at Arsenal on Saturday, with the club announcing the exit of head of football Raul Senllehi.

The club announced that Vinai Vankatesham will now take sole lead at the club.

Sanellehi was at the Emirates Stadium for three years after joining from Barcelona in 2017, and has since released a statement explaining the reasons behind his departure.

“There is no one to blame for this, other than Covid, and the need to adapt and remodel the club’s structure to the new times,” he said.

“I’m very comfortable knowing the club is in great hands, starting from a fully committed ownership to a second to none group of professionals filled with passion and commitment to make this great club successful.

“The foundations are solid and I’m convinced the dawn of a great era is just starting.”

Following the shock news, football.london’s Art de Roche was on hand to give his reaction to the goings on at the Emirates Stadium, and took to Facebook to answer questions around the news.

Topics covered included the new structure at the club, the impact on transfers and the latest on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future.
