Arsenal's new head of recruitment has admitted he is already under huge pressure to deliver impressive signings.
Sven Mislintat joined the Gunners last month after 10 years with Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
The 45-year-old helped sign numerous high profile names during his time at the Westfalenstadion. Players such as Mats Hummels, Shinji Kagawa, Robert Lewandowski, Ilkay Gundogan, Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were all brought in on his watch.
That track record earned him a move to Arsenal, but Mislintat admitted that his portfolio of work has also brought added pressure.
"Going by the press in England and Germany, they expect me to sign a Dembele in each transfer window," Mislintat told Kicker.
"I'm being put on an incredibly high pedestal."
Mislintat's departure from Dortmund was not an entirely smooth one after he fell out with the club's hierarchy and former manager Thomas Tuchel . There are, however, no hard feelings.
"There were many things in that time that I would have preferred to do without, and the same goes for Thomas Tuchel too, probably. In the end it damaged us all," he added.
"I only said that this time inspired me to do something different. There was not just one reason.
"I'm not mad at anyone, on the contrary, I find it extremely brave what Watzke said at the membership and shareholder meeting. To take responsibility in a difficult phase for the club has my greatest respect."
Arsenal have also confirmed the appointment of Barcelona's former director of football Raul Sanllehi.
Sanllehi left his job at Barcelona last week and arrives at the Emirates as part of a new backroom reshuffle.
Spaniard Sanllehi, 48, was not a traditional director of football at Barca and will do a similar role at Arsenal as he will be relied upon for his extensive contacts book to negotiate transfers and contracts.
The new structure put simply will ideally see Arsene Wenger identify the player he wants, Mislintat will scout and find the targets and then Sanllehi will negotiate the transfer.
Sanllehi will also accompany Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis on UEFA committees and be influential at boardroom level.
Gazidis said: “In the past three years we have supplemented our team with more top-class expertise across every aspect of our football operations.
"Raul’s appointment is another important step in developing the infrastructure we need at the club to take everything we do to the next level.
"Raul has extensive contacts across the football world and has been directly involved in some of the biggest transfers in Europe in recent years. We look forward to him bringing that expertise to Arsenal.”
