Edu's assistant, Jason Ayto, will be seeing through the role’s responsibilities until a permanent hire is made.

Per The Athletic, there is a candidate who may be available at the end of the season.

Real Sociedad’s Roberto Olabe is someone who the Gunners admire and will now be able to sign.

He is leaving La Real when the season ends, while he has also worked with Arsenal in the past.
