Who is Huss Fahmy?
Fahmy was the club’s head of football operations and assisted with completing contracts and talking to agents.
Former head of football Raul Sanllehi described him as “a talented and highly-capable leader of our football operations”.
Why has he left?
Sources close to the club have suggested they are “unsurprised” by this development, with Fahmy becoming a more marginalised figure of late.
The club have been going through a streamlining process over the course of this year, with the recruitment department under particular focus.
What does this mean for Arsenal?
Arsenal still have a strong leadership team, with manager Mikel Arteta supported by technical director Edu and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham.
The club also have a highly experienced legal department capable of handling the minutiae of contract renewals.
The likelihood now is that Edu will take responsibility for handling the vast majority of negotiations.
Who else has left recently?
Arsenal’s head of recruitment, Francis Cagigao, left the club in early August and head of football Sanllehi followed shortly afterwards as the club restructured their executive branch.
Head of UK scouting Peter Clark and scout Brian McDermott also left.
In the summer, Arsenal also announced they would be making 55 staff redundant, citing the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason.
