The Brazilian's shock departure will conclude five years in the club's senior management and means the manager, Mikel Arteta, will lose one of his major allies.

It is understood that Arteta - as one of Arsenal's leadership team alongside the executive vice-chair, Tim Lewis, and the managing director, Richard Garlick - will play a significant role in deciding their next steps.
"This was an incredibly hard decision," Edu said. "Now it is time to pursue a different challenge. Arsenal will remain in my heart. I wish the club and its supporters only good things."
