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

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.

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. 🙈

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.
