Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar has now delivered a very personal message to a player.

Edu Gaspar will be extremely busy in the coming days.

Arsenal are still hoping to complete some late business in this summer transfer window.

Mikel Merino will join Arsenal very soon, and there could also be a number of departures on the cards.

Crystal Palace are set to sign Eddie Nketiah. The striker needs to move on in search of regular football, and will stand an excellent chance of establishing himself as a star at Selhurst Park.

On top of that, Ian Wright has urged Edu to bring in another forward before the transfer window closes.

Arsenal director Edu sends message to his son

Edu has taken time out of his hectic schedule to wish his son, Luigi Gaspar, well for the new campaign.

Like his father once did for the Gunners, the 20-year-old Gaspar operates in the middle of the park. He is now on the books with Championship club Watford.

He was previously on the books at Arsenal, in the Hale End academy system, between 2019 and 2022.

Edu recently took to Instagram to pen a short message to his son: “Let’s go my son …Season to shine !!! Love you !!!”

The younger Gaspar is yet to make his senior debut, but will be hoping to make a breakthrough at Vicarage Road this season, and clearly has his father’s backing to do exactly that.

Arsenal stars reach out to Emile Smith Rowe

Edu is not the only Arsenal figure to have delivered a message via social media recently.

The likes of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, William Saliba, Aaron Ramsdale, and club captain Martin Odegaard all sent their congratulations to Emile Smith Rowe after he opened his account for Fulham.

Smith Rowe was a popular figure at the Emirates Stadium, having emerged from the Hale End academy before producing some magic moments for the first team.

Arsenal fans will be hoping that he can stay fit and get his career back on track at Craven Cottage.
