Arsenal have earmarked Bournemouth head coach Eddie Howe as a successor to Arsene Wenger, according to the Daily Star.
The Emirates Stadium hierarchy have been impressed by the young manager's tactical approach and are happy it would transition well to the Premier League giants.
Wenger shares their enthusiasm, though the long-serving manager's recommendations will only be taken as additional options and not result in an automatic appointment.
The report claims Arsenal would have been happy to see Wenger take up the England post this summer as they begin their search to replace the Frenchman, who is entering the final 12 months of his contract.
