Reports from England suggest Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is being lined up by Arsenal to replace manager Arsene Wenger whose contract current deal expires next summer.
According to SunSport, the highly-regarded Bournemouth boss' name is being discussed in the corridors of power at the Emirates.
The Englishman, who kept Bournemouth in the Premier League last season, has influential admirers at Arsenal who like his diligent approach.
Boss Arsene Wenger’s contract runs out at the end of the season and he has yet to make a decision on his future.
Although Wenger has been told by owner Stan Kroenke that he can extend his deal, they believe Howe can be moulded as a direct replacement if he quits.
Arsenal’s £7.5m a year manager has also been told he has a job for life at the Emirates - which raises the prospect of a role as technical director working with the new manager.
Wenger, who loaned Jack Wilshere to Bournemouth last week, is believed to be a firm admirer of Howe’s methods.
