Arsene Wenger is reportedly being lined up for a role as an ambassador for England's bid to host the World Cup in 2018.
It has been suggested the Arsenal manager will be approached to become part of the bid in order to inject some new life into proceedings.
The Mail On Sunday also understands Wenger may even be asked to become the figurehead of England's second attempt to host the tournament.
"Wenger's name was suggested by one board member and it is being considered, but other members worry about how it might look," a source close to the bid is quoted as saying.
"It should be a no-brainer. Wenger has changed the face of English football and is almost an honorary Englishman these days. He is also hugely respected around the world.
"Having him fronting it would make a lot of sense."
