Former Premier League winner, Joe Cole has questioned Edu Gaspar, who is the Director of Football at Arsenal. Cole has questioned whether Edu is the right man for the Arsenal Director of Football role.

Joe Cole has won Premier League titles thrice with Chelsea and currently, he is working at Stamford Bridge as an academy coach. Joe Cole is working behind the scenes in west London. Meanwhile, he praised the Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta but raised questions on Edu.

Cole spoke to Coral during an interview by the Daily Star, “I question the support above him in terms of the director of football, I wonder is he experienced enough?”

“When you’ve got a young manager, you probably need someone who’s really adept in that role, who knows the club and Edu is young at his job as well. He might be good at it.

“They’ve muddled through Arsenal, and I think Arteta has held himself very, very well and I think the younger players there, the Saka’s, the Smith Rowe’s, are outstanding and are getting better and better.

“It’s nice to have them back on the scene. It’s a good club with great history when they play well Arsenal, they do play very, very well.”
