ARSENAL UPDATE

Arsenal are not wasting any time in their search for a new manager as meetings are planned this week with representatives of some of the leading candidates, according to Sky sources.

Former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique is favourite to replace Arsene Wenger.

Enrique worked at Barcelona with Raul Sanlehi, who is now Arsenal director of football relations - he will also be a leading candidate for the Chelsea job if Antonio Conte leaves Stamford Bridge this summer.

Arsenal are also interested in RB Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick. He has coached German clubs such as Stuttgart and took Hoffenheim from the third tier of German football to the Bundesliga.

Mikel Arteta is highly regarded at Arsenal but there are concerns their former midfielder may be too inexperienced for such a big job.

Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira are also under consideration.

I think Vieira would be a good fit. Done well at New York City.

Otherwise, Ancelotti is normally a manager who will bring stability.
