Andrea Berta officially appointed + Viktor Gyokeres linked

Morning all.

Welcome to a brand new week, and the return of football tomorrow. Mikel Arteta will be holding his pre-Fulham press conference this morning, and I imagine one of the main lines of questioning will be the appointment of Andrea Berta as the club’s new Sporting Director.

It’s been common knowledge for some time, but it was officially announced yesterday. The Italian told the official Arsenal website:

I am thrilled to be joining Arsenal in what is a hugely exciting period for the club.
