Arsenal greats Ray Parlour and Martin Keown both believe that Arsene Wenger should be given a statue outside the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger was in charge of the Gunners for 22 years and is the most successful manager in the club's history.
During his tenure, the Frenchman won three Premier Leagues, seven FA Cups and seven Community Shields and was also in charge during the Invincible season.
And now the two believe that Wenger deserves a statue outside of Emirates, because it may not have ever opened if it were not for him.
"Before him, we finished 10th, fourth, 12th, fifth in the Premier League. Then we won three titles with him," Keown told the Daily Mail via Goal.
With Parlour adding: "That’s why he deserves a statue. He’s the one who created the Emirates, if you like.
“He’s the one who had that focus to say Highbury, as much as we all loved it, was not big enough."
Before Keown added: "Wenger was a visionary. He should be in the boardroom.
With Parlour responding: "Could he have done that? Wenger loved the day-to-day; the training; the matches.
"What’s the alternative, though?" Keown replied.
"The alternative is what he’s got now — no official link to Arsenal Football Club when he should be sitting proudly in the boardroom.
“When I hear him talk, he still says ‘us’ and ‘we’. Have Wenger on the board and put his expertise to use."
