Nottingham Forest are making great strides on the pitch this season and thrashed West Ham 3-0 at the weekend on home soil.
The victory was the third in succession and has lifted Forest up to third in the Premier League table under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Evangelos Marinakis had considered sacking the head coach twice last season but now he’s reaping the rewards of showcasing some serious loyalty.
The Forest owner is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to make the Reds great again on and off the pitch.
Some solid recruitment was made in the summer and now something could be about to happen that further strengthens Forest off the pitch.
Whether Edu will have a role at Nottingham Forest as he leaves Arsenal
It’s no secret that Edu is one of the major reasons why Arsenal have kicked on in recent years and made a great fist of a title bid last season with Manchester City.
Right now, Forest are ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League – although it does feel unlikely that things can be maintained in that sense.
According to the Independent, Forest owner Marinakis is keen to appoint Edu in a role working to oversee all of the clubs that he owns.
Edu is now set to leave Arsenal having cited a fresh challenge as his desire to leave the Emirates Stadium with Marinakis moving quickly.
The Reds are doing wonderful things on the recruitment side of things and it will be hoped that Edu can help take Forest to the next level in the future.
Edu can be a major play in Forest reaching European competition in the future
The Reds under Marinakis want to be competing in Europe and although this season might come too soon for that, it’s important progress is achieved.
Forest can improve on 16th and 17th place finishes last season and the season before that this time around and then take stock in the summer.

Edu has signed some quality players and youngsters at Arsenal and perhaps his know-how can help Forest continue their positive recruitment.
Marinakis normally gets his desired choice when it comes to his off-field appointments and hopefully, this one can get done quickly.
Edu is respected within the game and if Forest do get him over the line, it will be fascinating to see what he can achieve with the club.
