Wenger revealed on Friday that an appointment was likely to be made over the summer and, in his programme notes for Sunday's Premiership clash with Fulham, Wenger said: "I will be appointing a director of football to deal with a lot of the work that David did at the club, working with players and so on.

"At the moment I do not have anyone in mind for the position, there is no hurry to bring someone in, but I have to say I am thinking at the moment about employing someone from this country, so that they know more about the rules and regulations of the Premiership and English football."

He added: "They are my first thoughts but I am still open-minded to it and nothing has been decided yet.

"Whoever takes the job though will have to be a good communicator, know English football well, and will be experienced in negotiating.

"In the job he will be doing every decision will be vital, and a bad decision could cost the club millions, so we will have to get the appointment right."
