... only, not the one on the pitch, but the one who runs the Gunners' transfer policy
Arsenal's transfer mastermind Andrea Berta is already attracting serious interest across Europe - just months after arriving in north London.
The Italian sporting director, appointed last year, played a key role in a transfer window overhaul that brought in the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze and Martin Zubimendi - signings that have helped propel Arsenal into the Premier League title race and among the favourites for the Champions League crown.
Unsurprisingly, Berta's work has not gone unnoticed.
According to Foot Mercato, Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on the 52-year-old, despite already having Max Eberl and Christoph Freund in senior recruitment roles. The Bundesliga giants are said to be monitoring the situation as they consider potential structural changes behind the scenes.
Manchester City have also entered the frame. Even after appointing Hugo Viana, the Premier League champions could yet reshuffle their hierarchy - particularly if Pep Guardiola departs, a scenario that would trigger wider changes at the club.

For Arsenal, the message is clear: keeping hold of Berta may prove just as important as any signing he makes.
