Arsenal supporters took to social media to demand that the club bring Dennis Bergkamp back following the Dutchman’s surprise sacking at Ajax.

Manager Marcel Keizer and assistant Hennie Spijkerman also lost their jobs at Ajax but, understandably, it was the dismissal of ex-Gunner Berkgamp which interested Gooners the most.

Bergkamp, who scored 120 goals in 423 appearances, had a statue built outside the Emirates in 2014, but a number of fans are now desperate for the real thing to return to north London.

The likes of Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg and Thierry Henry have all had coaching roles at Arsenal in recent seasons and supporters are begging for Bergkamp to be the next on this list.

A statement from Ajax on Thursday afternoon read: ‘The club management does not have enough confidence that the ambitions of Ajax will be realised with them.

‘The disappointing sporting results are also the reason for this decision.

‘With Dennis Bergkamp, there is also a difference of opinion about the technical policy to be implemented.’
