My Take

Edu is one of those names that means very different things depending on when you started following Arsenal. To me he's the calm Brazilian midfielder from the early 2000s, but his second act is arguably more interesting. Going from playing for Corinthians, Arsenal and Valencia to running football operations behind the scenes at Nottingham Forest is a rare arc. I find executives who actually played at the top level fascinating, because they read a squad differently than career administrators. Born in São Paulo in 1978, he's quietly become one of the more respected football minds working in the English game today.
