Dennis Bergkamp, 51, lives in the Netherlands with his family. He does it away from the playing fields after saying goodbye to Ajax in 2017. Although he recognizes, in an interview by FourFourTwo and collected by Voetbalzone, that “the bug is starting to itch again” and that “when the time is right you would like to start a challenge somewhere again.”
It is there where Arsenal enters the scene. The gunner set is commanded by the Spanish Mikel Arteta. However, the former Dutch striker feels “linked to Arsenal”, where he played between 1995 and 2006, winning three leagues and four editions of the FA Cup over 423 games played.
Bergkamp is idolized by the Gunner Parish, and asked about a possible return to the London team, he answered the following: “At this time I have no contact with the club about a possible return. Let's see what happens when I make a decision about my future as a coach. Of course, returning to Arsenal would be ideal. I played there for eleven years and my relationship with the club is still very close. “
Finally, the former striker poured praise on Mikel Arteta: “I look at him with great interest, especially since he seems to want to change the philosophy of football. The first games under his leadership pleased me. “
