Arsenal have announced that a statue honouring Dennis Bergkamp is set to be unveiled outside the Emirates Stadium.
Bergkamp spent 11 years as an Arsenal player before calling it quits in 2006 and has long since voiced his intention to return there in a coaching capacity at some point in the future.
The 44-year-old, who joins the likes Thierry Henry and Tony Adams in having his own statue unveiled outside the ground, is currently assistant manager at Ajax.
The statue will be unveiled at 11.30am before the Premier League clash with Sunderland later this month, while Bergkamp himself will make an appearance on the pitch at half-time.
