And like Manchester United did with Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsenal are looking at renaming their West Stand, according to reports.
Arsenal shareholder Darren revealed on Twitter: “Arsenal are giving consideration into naming the West Stand the Arsene Wenger Stand at the Emirates.”
Wenger won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups during his time at the club.
