Sol Campbell has opened the door for a return to Arsenal as a replacement for the late Freddie Ljungberg.

Ljungberg has just left the Emirates, where he briefly served as a member of Mikel Arteta’s coaching staff.

The Swede had returned to Arsenal in 2018 to lead their youth teams and spent time as the club’s interim coach when Unai Emery was fired.

He was then retained by Arteta after the Spaniard became the club’s permanent manager.

His departure opens the possibility of another person joining the club’s coaching staff.

Dennis Bergkamp was initially thought to be in the frame of work, but the Gunners have yet to designate him and Campbell has issued what could be seen as a plea to come find me from the Gunners.

The former defender has done his best to make a coaching career in the game, has managed Macclesfield and Southend in the Football League so far and will feel like he can make a contribution to the current Arsenal team.

His former teammate, Robert Pires, put the 45-year-old in a bind and directly asked Campbell if he would be willing to replace Ljungberg while they promoted the new Marvel’s Avengers video game.

“If something came up, I [be interested]. I would love to [join the coaching staff]Campbell replied.

“Submit my name and I’ll be there.”
