Former Monaco general
manager Henri Biancheri has expressed an interest in becoming
Arsenal's new director of football.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen to bring in a new man to succeed
former vice-chairman David Dein.
Wenger admitted he will handpick Dein's successor and he is looking
to establish a director of football role to undertake the task of
contracts and player recruitment.
Tottenham sporting director Damien Comolli ruled out leaving White
Hart Lane for Arsenal after he had been linked with the role.
But Biancheri, who is a close friend of Wenger having worked with
him at Monaco, has thrown his hat into the ring at Arsenal.
"I am very good friends with Arsene and he knows what my value is,"
said Biancheri, told the Guardian.
"I am open to whatever propositions or proposals he may
have."
Biancheri is currently out of work after parting company with
Monaco earlier this season.
