TMW claim lots of things, most of the big claims often fall away never to happen, but sometimes there’s a little gem of an exclusive.
Only time will tell if Marc Overmars to Arsenal is the former or the latter.
On Monday lunchtime, the Italian website have published a story claiming Overmars is set to say goodbye to his Ajax director of football position. The Dutchman will be leaving at the end of the season, having endured a very up and down summer, which didn’t exactly leave him universally covered in praise.
It’s a big shout. If Arsenal were to get a director of football it may be considered a better idea to look for a more experienced one, but a former player also comes with advantages.
In April, Overmars commented on links with an Arsenal role: “I think there is a list with some names and I might be on it, but it’s not that exciting yet.
“I know the club pretty well, I have always kept in touch with Arsenal. So in that respect it is not surprising, because I’ve had a few good years.”
