Arsenal legend Tony Adams is being linked with a surprise return to the club.

The Sun says Adams will make a shock return to Arsenal next season — as coach of their Under-18s.

Gunners legend Adams was previously reluctant to come back but has agreed to work alongside Thierry Henry in the youth set-up.

Adams, 49, has been out of management since 2011 after stints at Wycombe, Portsmouth and Azerbaijani outfit Gabala.

He returned to Gabala in 2012, a year after leaving, to be sporting director.

Adams spent his entire 19-year playing career as a Gunners defender, making 674 appearances.
