Sources close to the situation claim that, to a degree, there has been a dilution of Edu’s power behind the scenes at Arsenal. It is said that Tim Lewis has seen his influence grow, while Richard Garlick assumed more control when he was promoted this year. [@SamiMokbel81_DM]
At the start of the summer, there was, according to sources, an emerging sense Edu was getting itchy feet & that his role didn’t necessarily provide the level of challenge he wanted.
It is said that the allure of football’s emerging movement towards multi-club models may also be a factor here. [@SamiMokbel81_DM]
