Arsenal are apparently looking to hire Luis Campos to be their forthcoming sporting director.
Given the surprise departure of club great Edu Gaspar, the Gunners now need to fill a position upstairs.
The Invincibles championship triumph helped Mikel Arteta's team become title challengers.
However, he surprised Arsenal by declaring earlier this month that he was leaving to become the CEO of Nottingham Forest's footballing conglomerate, owned by Evangelos Marinakis.
In the transfer market, the Gunners are now without a motivating factor.
Reinforcements may be required in January, as Arteta's team is currently nine points below league leaders Liverpool.
