Arsenal have appointed Hussein Isa as attacking-phase coach.

The 34-year-old has represented England at futsal, having previously spent time with both QPR and Tottenham as a youngster and later played for non-league club Hashtag United.

Known online as the “Tekkers Guru”, Isa has built a big following on social media, frequently posting videos of his skills and free-kick ability. Previously, he has stood in for stars the calibre of Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi during various commercial shoots.

The role, which is expected to start in the summer ahead of the 2023-24 season, will likely see Isa work alongside the Gunners’ first-team as well as their academy talents, focusing on various technical aspects of their game.

Areas such as touch, shooting and heading could all fall under Isa’s remit.

Mikel Arteta’s side sit top of the Premier League after a blistering start to the season and are keen to further strengthen their attack this month.

Arsenal have already seen two bids for Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk rejected but will continue their pursuit of the winger despite rival interest from Chelsea.
