What Deel does for Arsenal
An HR platform built for a global club
Arsenal's workforce spans coaches, scouts, analysts, commercial staff, and players from across the world. Managing employment across many countries — each with its own labour laws, tax rules, and currencies — used to mean fragmented tools and manual processes. Deel replaces all of that with a single platform their people team can actually rely on.

FAQs
How does Deel help Arsenal hire and manage international talent?
Deel gives Arsenal a single HR platform to hire, manage, and pay talent across 150+ countries — no matter where in the world that talent is based.
Deel acts as Employer of Record, so Arsenal can hire compliantly in new markets without setting up local legal structures first.
The result: Arsenal's HR and people ops teams get one platform to manage their entire global workforce, while Deel handles the compliance, contracts, and payroll complexity behind the scenes.
What is an Employer of Record, and why does it matter for a football club?
An Employer of Record legally employs workers on behalf of another organisation in a country where that organisation has no local entity. For Arsenal — which scouts, signs, and deploys talent globally — an EOR means they can bring someone on board in any market almost immediately, with full legal compliance, without first spending months establishing a local company.
How does Deel handle work visas and international mobility?
Deel Mobility manages the full lifecycle of international work authorisations — from initial visa applications and work permit filings through to renewals and ongoing compliance. Each case is tracked in a single dashboard so your people and legal teams always know where things stand, with local experts on the ground in 130+ countries handling in-country requirements.
Can Deel support both contractors and full-time employees?
Yes. Deel manages the full spectrum — from permanent employees on local payroll, to EOR workers hired in new markets, to independent contractors and specialist consultants. All managed through the same platform, with contracts, payments, and compliance handled appropriately for each worker type in each country.
How can Deel help my business the way it helps Arsenal?
If your team is spread across multiple countries — or you want to hire talent in markets where you're not yet established — Deel works for you the same way it works for Arsenal. One platform to hire through EOR, run global payroll, manage HR, handle mobility, and pay contractors compliantly across 150+ countries. Trusted by 40,000+ companies worldwide.
