3. Connection with Jorge Mendes helps in building a good squad
Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes and Nuno Espirito Santo are old friends. The 45-year-old Portuguese manager was Mendes’s first-ever client. Arsenal have Raul Sanllehi at their decision-making levels and he was brought in due to his contacts in the world of football. The Gunners are through a transition and Nuno’s connection with Mendes might turn out to be very crucial as Arsenal look to build for the long term.
Mendes’s influence was visible at Valencia as he was instrumental in the signings of Goncalo Guedes and Rodrigo. The combination of Mendes and Sanllehi might turn out to be a huge boost for the Gunners in the transfer market and give them the players of their choice in their pursuit of a rebuild.
The coming days and weeks will make the picture clearer as to who’ll be in charge of Arsenal in the long run.
