Manager Wenger this week revealed he is keen for the club to establish such a position in the wake of vice-chairman David Dein's shock departure. Part of Dein's duties at Arsenal involved player recruitment - a responsibility Wenger does not want to take on himself.

"I am very good friends with Arsene and he knows what my value is," Biancheri, who parted company with Monaco earlier this season, told the Guardian. "I am open to whatever propositions or proposals he may have."

Biancheri spent 19 years in a similar role at Monaco, helping Wenger sign Thierry Henry when the Gunners boss was manager of the French club.

The 74-year-old is credited with discovering Franck Ribery for Marseille and David Trezeguet and Philippe Christanval for Monaco.

Tottenham sporting director Damien Comolli, who also has a long-standing association with Wenger, on Monday insisted he has no interest in leaving White Hart Lane for the Emirates Stadium.
