Thierry Henry is set to be offered a new coaching role as Arsenal look to shake-up their academy.

The Gunners legend could be promoted to work with the club’s under-18s after coaching various age groups as part of taking his UEFA badges.

Sky pundit Henry has already caught the eye with his passion and commitment and a step up through the ranks would be seen as an effort to keep one of the club’s greatest ever players.

Arsenal have also made a last ditch effort to keep club captain Mikel Arteta who has been offered a coaching job by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and has attracted interest from Tottenham.

Arteta would also be seen as part of the new academy set-up as the club are clearly determined to keep hold of their best former players.

The shake-up is likely to see academy director Andries Jonker leave the club at the end of the season.

Academy coach Frans de Kat has already left while fellow Dutchman Jan van Loon could quit his position as Under-16’s coach.
