Hello, Arsenal fans, it’s Jordan Campbell here. Welcome to Arsenal Today: a new daily bulletin from The Athletic’s Arsenal team. From Monday to Friday, we’ll keep you up to date with the latest goings-on across the Arsenal beat, as well as directing you towards some of our favourite pieces we’ve published.
Wednesday was tinged with sadness as the club said goodbye to Jack Wilshere for a second time. The former midfielder officially left his position as Arsenal’s under-18s head coach to take up a first-team role with Norwich City. His assistant Adam Birchall was announced as his replacement and he keeps it in the Arsenal family, given he came through the ranks over two decades ago in the same team as Justin Hoyte and Sebastian Larsson.
Those are memories from yesteryear but there is plenty more news that we’re talking about today:
- Our colleague Charlotte Harpur broke the story that Arsenal women have made NYC FC men’s head coach Nick Cushing their primary target to replace Jonas Eidevall. The position has been vacant since the Swede left the club last Tuesday and the former Manchester City women’s manager has been earmarked as a potential successor.
