Arsenal is set to bolster its recruitment team with the addition of Maurizio Micheli, who has agreed to join the club under Director Andrea Berta, according to football journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Micheli, currently head of scouting at Napoli, has been instrumental in the Serie A club’s recent successes. At 57 years old, he is expected to leave Napoli imminently to take up his new role at the Gunners.

Renowned for his expertise in scouting and talent identification, Micheli has built a strong reputation in Italy and is considered one of the key figures behind Napoli’s rise in recent years. His arrival at Arsenal signals the club’s intent to strengthen its recruitment and scouting structure, aiming for sustained success in both domestic and European competitions.

The deal between Arsenal and Micheli is expected to be formally completed soon, adding an experienced eye to the club’s recruitment strategy.
