Arsenal has appointed outgoing Barcelona Director of Football Raul Sanllehi as head of football relations.
Sanllehi is set to start in his new role at the Emirates in February, with his time at Barcelona coming to an end in December after 14 years at the club.
As head of football relations, Sanllehi will be in charge of player negotiations, working with manager Arsene Wenger, chief executive Ivan Gazidis and contract negotiator Huss Fahmy.
Alongside that, he will represent Arsenal and support the club with international and domestic governing bodies.
This appointment comes just a week after Arsenal hired Borrusia Dortmund’s chief scout Sven Mislintat as head of recruitment.
