Nottingham Forest's global head of football Edu Gaspar's job at The City Ground is now under threat, with the former Arsenal chief now facing scrutiny ahead of their game against West Ham United, according to John Percy.
Edu was appointed at Forest back in July, joining the club after previously being at Arsenal with Mikel Arteta. The former Gunner was appointed when Nuno Espirito Santo was in charge, and they've had another two managers since then, with Ange Postecoglou coming in before their current boss, Sean Dyche.
After their defeat against Aston Villa last time out, Forest have now lost their previous four Premier League games, sitting in 17th position in the table. They have a four-point cushion over 18th-place West Ham, but the two teams go head-to-head this week in what is looking like a crucial clash in the battle to remain in the division.

According to a report from The Telegraph's Percy, Edu is now under increasing pressure at Nottingham Forest, with the Midlands club enduring difficulties since his arrival. Edu's presence is believed to be a 'contentious issue' behind the scenes, while he was also barely on speaking terms with former manager Nuno.
There was a disconnect between Nuno and Edu during the summer transfer window, with the latter pushing for the signings of Douglas Luiz and Omari Hutchinson, while the former and the recruitment team wanted alternative players. It's unclear how his relationship is with current manager Dyche, but it's certainly not looking all rosy at The City Ground at the moment, with Edu's job now under threat.
