Workforce Adjustments Underway
Arsenal intends to eliminate 60 roles, which would affect as much as 7 percent of its 871 permanent employees. The reductions will touch several non-playing areas but leave men's and women's team staff untouched. Turnover reached a record 691 million pounds for the 2024-25 season, and the club awarded manager Mikel Arteta a new four-year contract that can pay as much as 20 million pounds per year.
Manager Addresses Planned Changes
The 44-year-old coach stated the measures were reviewed club-wide with the goal of placing staff in suitable positions and continuing investment. He noted the decisions aim to support the success the organization seeks to build, though he emphasized the topic falls outside his direct responsibilities.
Squad Photo to Be Retaken
Arsenal will schedule another team photograph after William Saliba was unavailable for the initial session. The defender missed the picture because of a medical appointment. The club attempted to complete the image three times previously, and commercial commitments required proceeding without the full group. Saliba has not featured since the World Cup but may return before the next international window. Martín Zubimendi remains in consideration for the upcoming match, while another player will miss out.
