In the near future, Arsenal plans to honour the iconic Arsene Wenger with a statue outside the Emirates Stadium.
After leaving his position as Arsenal manager on Boxing Day, Arsene Wenger, who won ten trophies in more than two decades in North London, made his first trip back to N5. He watched from the stands as Mikel Arteta’s team overcame a deficit to defeat West Ham.
There have long been demands for Arsenal to publicly honour the Frenchman, who is perhaps the most important figure in the club’s history.

Additionally, the Daily Telegraph reports that preparations are being made to erect a monument outside the Emirates Stadium as early as 2023.
Around the stadium, Arsenal has already constructed monuments honouring Herbert Chapman, Tony Adams, Dennis Bergkamp, and Thierry Henry, with Wenger about to join.
Arsene Wenger supervised Arsenal’s transfer from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium, and he is particularly known for guiding them through a period of bankruptcy that required them to continually sell important players.
He led the Gunners to an undefeated season in 2004, when the team last won the Premier League. They were later given a golden trophy in recognition of their success, which Wenger received to retain when he left Arsenal in 2018.
