Arsenal may be about to lose a valuable first team coaching staff member.

Manager Mikel Arteta's assistant Albert Stuivenberg is being linked with the vacant seat at Ajax.

The Dutch giants fired Maurice Steijn on Monday, as they sit in the Eredivisie relegation zone.

According to Algemeen Dagblad, club legend Louis Van Gaal is an admirer of Stuivenberg.

As he is the one responsible for the search for a new Ajax coach, the Gunners no.2 may be in line for the post.

One who appears to have turned down the job is Mitchell van der Gaag of Manchester United.
