Dennis Bergkamp to replace Liam Brady?

Dennis Bergkamp has been identified as a possible replacement for Arsenal's outgoing head of youth development Liam Brady, according to reports.

The Gunners revealed on Wednesday that Brady will be leaving his role at the club in May 2014.

Bergkamp has emerged as an early contender to replace the 54-year-old due to his work in Ajax's illustrious youth academy, according to the Daily Mail.

The former Netherlands forward is now the club's assistant manager but could be tempted by a return to Arsenal.

Bergkamp enjoyed 11 successful years with the Gunners between 1995 and 2006.
