Arsenal have decided to build a statue in tribute of former manager Arsene Wenger outside the Emirates Stadium, according to the Telegraph. The report claims that the 73-year-old could be immortalised outside the ground as early as next year, following his return to the club to watch them play.
The Frenchman hadn't been back at the north London club since he left back in 2018, with his era being something of a mooted topic in that time. Mikel Arteta's rise to the top with the Gunners has since brought up plenty more discussions surrounding Wenger and the football club.
The former manager predicted them to be involved in the title picture, telling beIN Sports earlier this season: "[Arsenal are] the second-best team to have a good chance to win the Premier League because Man City at some stage will focus highly on the Champions League."
