Ajax chief Marc Overmars is back on the agenda for Arsenal.

The Mirror says the Gunners want to freshen things up behind the scenes and are keen to bring former winger Overmars on board as a technical director.

Unai Emery has changed the club's fortunes since taking the reins, but the club are all too aware of their need to solve their recruitment problems.

Overmars is currently working for Ajax in the role of director of football and has had seven solid years with the Dutch club.

He helped the club develop youth talent and recruited the likes of Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez who all departed for Tottenham.
