Arsenal appear to have missed out on hiring former winger Marc Overmars as the club's technical director after the Dutchman instead committed his future to current employers Ajax with a new contract until the summer of 2024.
A Premier League and FA Cup double winner with the Gunners in 1998, Overmars had reportedly become Arsenal's new primary target for the front office role after it was claimed that initial target Monchi is set to return to Sevilla after leaving a similar job at Roma.
football.london even claimed over the weekend that Overmars actively wanted to make the switch to the Emirates Stadium, and that Ajax knew of his desire.
