Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of adding another key figure to their backroom team as they continue to strengthen their recruitment department under sporting director Andrea Berta. The Gunners have been keen on expanding their scouting network, especially after a productive transfer window that saw several strategic signings, Softfootball reports.
Maurizio Micheli, who has earned high praise for his exceptional work at Napoli in recent years, has now emerged as the latest addition to Arsenal’s technical setup. The experienced scout is credited with identifying top Serie A talents and will bring a wealth of experience to North London.
According to Top Journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, who provided the latest on the situation, Romano posted;
Maurizio Micheli has agreed to join Arsenal as part of recruitment team under director Andrea Berta. Micheli did excellent job at Napoli in recent years and he’s set to leave with Arsenal move imminent. Deal set to be formally sealed soon; after @SamiMokbel_BBC.
Berta, Arsenal’s sporting director, has already made a strong impression since taking charge. He played a key role in securing the contract extension of highly sought-after defender William Saliba, who was previously on Real Madrid’s radar.
Softfootball understands that Berta’s impact has been felt across multiple levels, especially during the summer window where he oversaw key signings, including the addition of Viktor Gyökeres and the stunning £60 million hijack of Eberechi Eze from arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The addition of Micheli to Berta’s recruitment setup is expected to further strengthen Arsenal’s scouting network, as the Gunners continue to build a long-term project centered on smart recruitment and elite player development.
