Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp believes the club must restore its DNA in the coming years.
Bergkamp is part of a group, which includes Swedish billionaire Daniel Ek, who wish to buy the club.
Stan Kroenke currently owns the Gunners, but has come under fire from the fans repeatedly over the past few years.
Netherlands hero Bergkamp told Voetbal International: “I played an important part of my career at Arsenal and had a testimonial there.
“The club is in my heart. I have become a fan of players, just like Patrick and Thierry. I recognise the Arsenal from our own time less and less.
“The ambition to win top prizes is in Arsenal’s DNA. Never accepting loss. That mentality has slowly disappeared.
“I sense resignation about the current situation. That is serious. As if, given the financial situation, it is normal for Arsenal to end in the middle bracket.
“That does not belong to this club. Arsenal’s DNA must be restored.”
