Chelsea offer Arsenal legend Marc Overmars Premier League return
MARC OVERMARS could seal a Premier League return if he takes up an offer reportedly tabled by Chelsea.
Marc Overmars
Overmars won the league and cup double in his first season in England with Arsenal and scored 40 goals in his three seasons at Highbury.
And he could find himself back in London this summer.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, the former Barcelona winger has not accepted a new deal from Ajax and is considering a contract from Chelsea.
Retaining those players is thought to be crucial in convincing Overmars to stay but the 43-year-old is yet to make a decision.
If he accepts Chelsea, he is expected to move into a similar role in recruitment, working alongside Blues technical director Michael Emenalo.
