Ajax football chief Marc Overmars is back on the agenda of Arsenal.
The Daily Express reports Arsenal may decide to sack Edu, 43, in the near future - if his summer signings don't pay dividends.
The ex-midfielder is in charge of the club's transfer business and has spent more than £300MILLION on players since his arrival in July 2019.
The Gunners have decided to invest in youth this summer, spending more than £130m on five players aged 23 or under.
Edu's relationship with the supporters has strained recently, with his wife giving a fan the middle finger during their defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.
Arsenal are said to be plotting a move for Overmars - who helped them win the Premier League and FA Cup in 1997-98 - if Edu's transfers backfire.
The ex-winger has been Ajax's director of football since 2012, helping the famous club achieve significant success on and off the field.
