ARSENAL’S contract negotiator Huss Fahmy will quit the club, according to reports.

He was tasked with negotiating the contracts of players and talking with agents to execute the best deals possible.

Fahmy was also instrumental in bringing Arteta back to the club.

According to the Athletic, Fahmy will continue in his role for the next month and complete the handover process.

It is claimed that Arsenal will replace him with a ‘football operations executive’ that will have more of an all-round role including negotiating contracts.

The Gunners have been attempting to streamline the number of staff behind the scenes following the appointment of Arteta.

Technical director Edu and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham remain integral at the club.

Also leaving the club in recent months is global scout Francis Cagigao after 10 years with the club.

Fellow scouts Peter Clark and former Reading boss Brian McDermott also lost their jobs due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Arsenal caused outrage in the summer after announcing 55 staff members were to lose their jobs as a cost-cutting measure.
