Sven Mislintat is reported to be under threat at Arsenal, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The head of recruitment has been responsible for some ground-breaking transfers at the Emirates in recent years, perhaps most notably securing the deal to bring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to North London.
However, the behind the scenes shakeup looks set to continue at Arsenal.
After the departure of Arsene Wenger in the summer, the Gunners have seized the chance to overhaul their backroom staff.
Appointed by former chief executive Ivan Gazidis to oversee the signing of new players, it is understood that Mislintat’s influence has declined since the departure of the former CEO.
With the Gunners set to appoint a sporting director, the German could find himself pushed out the door.
Head of football operations Raul Sanllehi seems to be entrenched in his role, and Mislintat may find himself on the outside looking in after a seemingly inevitable reshuffle.
