Tottenham signs Arsenal legend.

Tottenham Hotspur has just surprised everyone by announcing the appointment of Vinai Venkatesham, former Arsenal chief executive, as CEO in the club's board of directors.

Vinai Venkatesham will become CEO of Tottenham.

At 44 years old, Venkatesham had spent over a decade with Arsenal. His move to the Gunners' bitter rivals in North London came as a surprise to many.

Venkatesham left Arsenal at the end of last season, citing the need to seek a new challenge. Few could have predicted that this challenge would lead him to Tottenham, the team most hated by Arsenal fans in the world of football.

An Indian-born financial expert will officially take over as CEO of Tottenham in June. This move marks a major change in Tottenham's management structure. Spurs are undergoing a crucial financial and personnel transition, burdened by debt from stadium construction years ago.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy revealed he "has known Vinai for many years" and was delighted to have signed such a talented player for the club. Venkatesham is a prominent figure in the sports and financial world. He was involved in the organizing committee of the London 2012 Olympics and served on the advisory board of Wembley Stadium.

However, Venkatesham's biggest impact over the past decade has been at Arsenal, where he rose from head of global relations to CEO. He was also instrumental in appointing Mikel Arteta, helping the Gunners overcome difficulties during the pandemic and rebuild the club after Arsene Wenger's departure.

Arsenal's goal sealed Real's defeat. In the 75th minute, Mikel Merino beat Courtois with a skillful finish from just outside the 16.5-meter line, securing a 3-0 victory for Arsenal over Real.
