Arsenal have reportedly told staff they plan to eliminate around 60 positions as part of a cost-cutting programme. The proposed reductions primarily affect administrative roles and come shortly after head coach Mikel Arteta signed a new contract.

According to reporting cited by GOAL, Richard Garlick informed employees during a Wednesday call. First-team coaching and performance staff, women’s-team personnel, security, and the Arsenal Foundation were described as outside the cuts. The supplied report does not confirm completed redundancies.
