Arsenal are looking to appoint a director of football and they have reached an agreement with Marc Overmars.
The former Arsenal player has been the director of football at Ajax since 2012 and he is very experienced in that position now. Furthermore, he knows the club well and he should be able to lead them into the right direction.
Arsenal have tried to appoint a director of football in the past as well, but Wenger has always opposed such an appointment. Now that the Frenchman is nearing the end of his time at the club, the Gunners have decided to move forward with the decision.
