Arsenal hero Martin Keown supports the appointment of former teammate Edu Gaspar as technical director.
Edu has moved from the Brazilian Federation to take up the post.
"I think it is very interesting because he understands this role and he understands the expectancy at Arsenal," Keown told Sky Sports. "He cannot really affect it on the training ground. but he will be able to address things with the processes at the club.
"He is a great guy who was also greatly underestimated, to be honest. It was a big loss when he left the football club because there was an element of class to him. I am pleased that the club has recognised that because over the years there have been some special individuals play for Arsenal who do not work for Arsenal so I am glad one of them is returning."
