The Gunners’ Sporting Director, Andrea Berta, looks set to pull off a significant coup in hiring Napoli’s leading Italian scout and bringing him to North London in an attempt to bring even better players into an already strong, deep and star-studded squad.

Maurizio Micheli is already recognised as one of the best scouts in Italy and was responsible for the signings of players such as Alessandro Buongiorno, Scott McTominay,  Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (now at PSG) and Kim Min-Jae (now at Bayern Munich).

Following a staggering summer transfer window as well as a table-topping start to the season, Arsenal are still looking to improve.

Such signings have helped Napoli to become a major force in Italian football for the first time since the days of Diego Maradona.

The signing of Micheli from Napoli to strengthen technical director James Ellis in the scouting department, shows Arsenal’s ambition to dominate the EPL transfer market and begin to bring regular silverware to The Emirates after a long period of failure in the Premier League and the Champions League alike.

Micheli will be joining an already successful Arsenal recruitment team which signed several key players during the last transfer window includingMartin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyökeres, and Noni Madueke.

This new addition to the Gunners’ recruitment team demonstrates the club’s dedication to long-term success regardless of whether Mikel Arteta can secure silverware this season.

I believe that the Spaniard might well step aside should he fail to sin a major trophy this season with such a strong squad.

Don’t get me wrong. I want Arsenal to succeed this season. However, if Arteta fails to win a major trophy then I strongly believe it is time to give another manager a chance at guiding this star-studded Arsenal squad to long overdue glory.
