Arsenal are set to announce Andrea Berta as their new sporting director, with the Italian expected to arrive in the UK before the start of next week. Berta, who has been instrumental in Atletico Madrid's title-winning successes, is widely regarded as one of the shrewdest sporting directors in European football. Guillem Balague, a Spanish football expert, praised Berta's ability to make astute acquisitions, such as Antoine Griezmann, Jan Oblak, and Kieran Trippier, within financial limits. Berta's immediate tasks at Arsenal include securing a much-needed forward, with Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak being potential targets, addressing contract extensions for key players like Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, and Gabriel Magalhaes, and managing player sales, such as Oleksandr Zinchenko.
