00:00Arsenal's search for a new sporting director continues to gain momentum with former West
00:06Ham and Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun reportedly in talks for the role.
00:11Benayoun, who had a brief stint at Arsenal during the 11-12 season, recently left his
00:17position as sporting director for the Israel national team and is eager to return to the
00:23Premier League.
00:25Although no official offer has been made, his discussions with Arsenal signal the club's
00:29commitment to finding the right fit to lead their sporting operations.
00:34However, it seems that Benayoun may be edging closer to missing out on the job, with former
00:40Atletico Madrid director Andrea Berta now in advanced talks with the Gunners.
00:45Berta's experience at a top European club makes him a strong candidate and it's expected
00:51that Arsenal will secure his services in the near future.
00:55As Arsenal solidifies their back-office plans, attention is also turning to potential signings.
01:02The club has been linked with a move for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, who could leave
01:07the Bundesliga club this summer.
01:10After a dip in his form this season, Coman is reportedly seeking a move to the Premier
01:14League, with Arsenal among the teams keeping a close eye.
01:19The French international available for a reported £37m would be a more affordable option than
01:25other wingers on Arsenal's radar.
01:27The opportunity is to improve our squad with players that can impact it.
01:32We haven't achieved it, so we are disappointed in that sense, but as well we are very aware
01:38that we only want to bring certain kind of players and we have to be very disciplined
01:44with that as well and I think that we will.
01:48The Gunners' pursuit of Nico Williams is also ongoing, as the 21-year-old Atletico Bilbao
01:53talent has a £48m release clause, and despite being less established than Coman, Williams'
02:00potential could offer long-term rewards.
02:03The Gunners face a crucial summer, and their strategic decisions in both the sporting director
02:09role and transfer market will be pivotal for the club's future success.
