"Arsene Wenger’s statue is soon to be unveiled at The Emirates.

Arsenal have been working on the specially commissioned bronze statue for some time with a view to having it in place to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Invincible season."

My votes would be, this:

Photo of Arsene Wenger celebrating with double clenched fists. He is wearing a white shirt, red tie and navy blue jersey. He is leaning back, screaming with his eyes closed.

Or:

Wenger at Emirates Stadium which is being built. The pitch is bare earth. Wearing a brown suit, hard hat and workboots. His arms are raised

This one, but large enough that a regular-sized human can comfortably stand between the legs.

The top third of him looming over the side of the stadium to peer within.

Upon reflection, I would be all for this, as long as it’s big enough for him to peer over the top of the roof, and look at the pitch. Colossus of Rhodes style.

It should be Beach Arsene but it'll almost definitely be the first. I would also appreciate a water bottle being placed somewhere.

I reckon it will be one of the stadium ones, maybe the one with the ball at his feet.

Whenever people discuss statue designs, my brains always jumps to possible vandalism or inappropriate photo ops. That first one offers more than one unfortunate opportunity. 🙈
