Arsenal technical director Edu was behind the cleanout of their academy coaching and scouting staff, it has been revealed.
The Gunners are set to part company with no fewer than eight members of staff including head of youth recruitment Steve Morrow, who was told he is no longer needed in north London.
The Athletic says Edu was behind the cull.
The Brazilian was surprised by how bloated the club's coaching staff had become when he returned after the summer and began wielding the axe.
The report adds that Edu had long-term plans to streamline Arsenal's internal operation.
