Reliable Arsenal journalist Charles Watts has shared an update on Ayto’s chances of filling Edu’s position in a detailed report for CaughtOffside this week.
Indeed, it is believed Ayto is set for an Arsenal meeting in the United States this week, where he will sit down with Arteta, Garlick, Lewis and the Kroenkes to discuss next summer’s transfer plans with the club’s owners.
This meeting is scheduled for every November international break, and Ayto is set to take on Edu’s role on an interim basis as he heads the recruitment process. Watts adds that Ayto could be considered for the role full-time, even if there is a suggestion that this job may have come too soon for him.
The club chief is “highly respected” at Arsenal, though, so it appears he is firmly in the running as the north Londoners begin their “thorough” search for a new sporting director – where they will take their time to assess the right man to replace such a crucial figurehead in Edu.
