Sven Mislintat will leave his post with Arsenal as head of recruitment.

Mislintat was initially appointed in November 2017 by Ivan Gazidis, with the idea that his role would evolve into that of a technical director as the club aimed to refresh its operation once they moved on from the Arsene Wenger era.

Before moving to London he spent many years at Dortmund, where he helped in the development of Shinji Kagawa, Robert Lewandowski, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembélé.

Mislintat was heavily involved in the recruitment of Aubameyang a year ago.
