As such, Mikel Arteta has been left without his right hand man amidst a delicate period at the Emirates Stadium – with Arsenal seeming to stagnate a little, sitting fourth in the Premier League and 12th in the UEFA Champions Leagu

A story from Gianluca Di Marzio states that Arsenal are monitoring the 43-year-old’s situation at AS Monaco after losing Edu Gaspar.

It was Scuro who oversaw AS Monaco’s £35m signing of Folarin Balogun from Arsenal back in August 2023 – a window in which he also signed Thilo Kehrer, Wilfried Singo and Denis Zakaria, all of whom were mostly financed by the £38.8m sale of Axel Disasi to Chelsea.

The Brazilian’s efforts working for the French giants helped them qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in six years last term – finishing second in Ligue 1 behind PSG.
