Former Argentina defender Gabriel Heinze is reportedly set to join Arsenal as part of Mikel Arteta's coaching staff.
 

Earlier this summer, Arsenal assistant head coach Carlos Cuesta left the club to take over as manager of Serie A side Parma.

His departure created a significant vacancy in Arteta's backroom team, with reports suggesting the club would seek a replacement.

Now, it appears they have found one.

According to an exclusive by David Ornstein, 47-year-old former footballer Gabriel Heinze is set to join Arsenal ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Heinze and Arteta are familiar with each other from their playing days at Paris Saint-Germain, where they were teammates.
