Upon reflection, I would be all for this, as long as it’s big enough for him to peer over the top of the roof, and look at the pitch. Colossus of Rhodes style.

This one, but large enough that a regular-sized human can comfortably stand between the legs.
The top third of him looming over the side of the stadium to peer within.
Whenever people discuss statue designs, my brains always jumps to possible vandalism or inappropriate photo ops. That first one offers more than one unfortunate opportunity. 🙈
It should be Beach Arsene but it'll almost definitely be the first. I would also appreciate a water bottle being placed somewhere.
I reckon it will be one of the stadium ones, maybe the one with the ball at his feet.

Nah but this is well, well deserved, glad to see it happen.
Is it me or a statue just isn’t enough for Wenger? This man is responsible for the grounds we play in, stayed with us during the financial issues while rebuffing offers from top clubs like Real Madrid. I know sponsorships are important but I wouldn’t mind some way to include it in the name of the stadium (Arsene Stadium? Wengerdome?).
He worked hard toward and sacrificed sporting success for half his time at Arsenal to ensure the financial stability that things like the stadium sponsorship provide, I'm sure he's happy to see that continue rather than name the stadium awkwardly after him. He really doesn't seem like much of a sentimentalist.
The club's already named after him, what more can one want
