Arsenal legend David Seaman is set for a role with the club after impressing in coaching sessions with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Seaman heading back to Arsenal

The Daily Star claim that Arsenal have invited Seaman to work with their academy goalkeepers in a coaching role.

Seaman worked with summer signing Ramsdale for almost a week, preparing him for life at Arsenal.

Seaman did such a good job then that Arsenal now want him to come back on a permanent basis.

58-year-old Seaman was an Arsenal legend in his playing days, making 564 appearances for the club.

Arsenal fans still love Seaman, and would no doubt love to see him return to the club in some capacity.

Who are Arsenal’s young goalkeepers?

Arsenal have three young goalkeepers who have been in and around first-team training under Mikel Arteta.

Estonian international Karl Hein has impressed for his country and could emerge into first-team reckoning.

Arthur Okonkwo has real talent and has been on the bench for four Premier League games this month.

James Hillson is another young stopper at Arsenal, though he turns 21 in January and isn’t even playing in Premier League 2.

Add in Ovie Ejeheri, Hubert Graczyk, Remy Mitchell and loanees Dejan Iliev and Tom Smith to come back, there is plenty of young talent for Seaman to work with Arsenal.
