Thierry Henry is emerging as a surprise candidate for the vacant head coach's job at Bournemouth.
Henry is currently boss at MLS outfit Montreal Impact, but the Cherries want the opportunity to talk to the Frenchman about their top job.
The Arsenal legend features on a high-profile list of names Bournemouth have earmarked as potential replacements for Jason Tindall, who was sacked earlier this month.
Henry's former Gunners team-mate Patrick Vieira is a prominent name on Bournemouth's shortlist as is former Huddersfield boss David Wagner.
John Terry, currently assistant coach at Aston Villa, remains an option for the Cherries but the Chelsea legend is understood to be an outsider for the post.
