The efforts made by Evangelos Marinakis to bring Edu to Nottingham Forest seem to be paying off, and it may not be long before the Brazilian’s impact is felt at the City Ground.
Reports from The Athletic suggest that an agreement is in place for Edu to join Marinakis’ group of clubs. Once he is free from his responsibilities at Arsenal, the 46-year-old could begin working alongside the Forest owner.
Although the details of Edu’s role have not been finalized and no contract has been signed, it is believed that he will play a key part in expanding Marinakis’ array of teams. In addition to Forest, Marinakis owns Olympiacos in Greece and Rio Ave in Portugal.
Forest had been linked with Edu during the summer, but the rumors were subsequently denied by the club. However, it seems that Marinakis has successfully secured his desired candidate.
Edu has been instrumental in Arsenal’s rise as Premier League contenders since joining the club in a backroom role in 2019. Forest themselves have made significant progress in the transfer market, currently sitting above Arsenal in the league standings.
The Reds will face Newcastle United before the international break, with a trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal upon their return. The team’s current position reflects their ambition and drive to succeed under the leadership of Marinakis and potentially now Edu.
