Andrea Berta has taken up the role of Arsenal sporting director at a crucial time, stepping in just in time to oversee the club’s transfer activity this window. The Gunners had been operating without a figure in that position since Edu unexpectedly departed at the end of last year. Berta arrived with a strong reputation, recognised as one of the most accomplished sporting directors in European football.
Arsenal’s Transfer Approach Under Berta
Following another season without silverware, in which Arsenal came close in the Champions League, Carabao Cup and Premier League, the club were determined to strengthen the squad. Their domestic rivals had already been active, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United completing key signings while Arsenal appeared slower to act.
Much of the early summer was spent weighing up options, particularly regarding Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, with Arsenal’s leadership aware that only one would be signed. This cautious approach left some supporters frustrated, with questions raised about whether Berta was the right appointment or whether he could truly step into Edu’s shoes.
Key Deals and Changing Perceptions
As reported by Football Insider, the tide soon turned as Berta began to make decisive moves. Deals were finalised for Martin Zubimendi, Cristhian Mosquera and Gyokeres, strengthening key areas of the squad. In a particularly eye-catching development, he hijacked a proposed transfer for Eberechi Eze, who had been strongly linked with Tottenham, demonstrating both ambition and authority in the market.
Now, another significant acquisition appears imminent, with Piero Hincapie expected to join Arsenal within hours. These moves have not only bolstered the team but have also shifted the perception of Berta among the Arsenal faithful. According to the report, fans are now openly expressing admiration for his impact, with some even suggesting he deserves a statue in his honour at the club.
The work carried out under Berta’s guidance has reinvigorated optimism around the Emirates, and there is a growing belief that his leadership could be pivotal in transforming Arsenal’s ambitions into tangible success. While supporters celebrate his immediate contributions, the long-term test will be whether these signings help deliver the trophies that have narrowly eluded the club in recent seasons.
