He said on Twitter: "So… I’m officially swapping my battered old football boots for the ballroom shoes! The lure of the sequins was simply too much!
"I am thrilled to be a part of the 20th anniversary of @bbcstrictly
this year.. I can’t wait to meet my partner and get dancing #Strictly."
The news has sparked a frenzy on social media with a number of fans remembering that famous clip of Adams doing an enthusiastic warm-up drill while he was manager of Spanish club Granada.
In the clip, Adams can be seen gesticulating at his players, while running forwards and backwards and then moving side-to-side.
However, Arsenal have gone for the more conventional show of support in a message that suggested that Adams could perhaps be a dark horse in the competition.
"Good feet for a big man [wink face]," Arsenal tweeted.
