Ajax sports chief Marc Overmars is in talks with Arsenal about an emotional return.
That's the feeling of Dutch pundit Marcel van der Kraan, of De Telegraaf, amid reports of Overmars being favourite for the technical director's post.
"I asked him last week. He said: 'I have not been approached'.
"He wanted to leave it at that. I feel that there's a lot more to this, but as long as he denies it...," he told FOX Sports.
"At Arsenal there are people who really want to bring him in, but not everyone. There is a whole discussion going on.
"I have reason to assume that he is in contact with the club. He denies it. We will see how it will go in the summer."
