Mislintat upsetting Arsenal scouts

Arsenal chief Sven Mislintat is facing a backlash inside the club.

The Sun says he could leave Arsenal as head of recruitment - after a series of disagreements with staff.

The German, 46, has been at the Emirates for just 13 months but his position is now under threat.

It is understood scouts have not been impressed with the targets Mislintat has asked to get reports on.

And a meeting earlier in the season was called on a Saturday - when his team of talent-spotters were expected to be at games.

He is now in the frame to be the next departure in the shake-up behind the scenes that has seen Arsene Wenger and chief exec Ivan Gazidis leave the club.
