The lack of 'Arsenal DNA' within the current first-team setup has often raised questions and concerns amongst supporters. Some don't believe enough former players are involved, with the argument that they can further improve the development and atmosphere around the squad.
Fans were excited by the presence of Robert Pires and Thierry Henry at London Colney in recent years, which led to calls for them to be offered permanent coaching roles at the club. Former manager Arsene Wenger has also been at the centre of these discussions, with current boss Mikel Arteta admitting he'd like to see the Frenchman return in some capacity.
"We would be delighted to have him much closer," Arteta said. "I think he would have a great time just seeing the environment that he can create around him when he's around this place because of the respect, admiration and the love that everybody at the club has for what he's done, as well as for what he represents as a person."
