Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is considering bringing Dennis Bergkamp back to the club.

The Daily Star says he has been urged find a role for Bergkamp, who has let it be known he would consider a return to the club.

Manchester City have shown the benefits of employing another former Arsenal great, Patrick Vieira, as their football development executive.

And there is a growing feeling at the Emirates that Wenger should sign up the Dutch- man for a similar role.

Such a move would give a huge boost to the north Londoners, who lie fourth-bottom in the Premier League following a shocking start to the season.

The hugely respected Bergkamp is currently assistant to Frank de Boer at Ajax, the club where he made his name.
