Arsenal chief executive Vinai Venkatesham has been pictured leaving Mikel Arteta's house in the early hours of Monday morning, with the Manchester City number two now firmly in the frame to replace Unai Emery at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners decided to part ways with Emery on November 29 following a disastrous start to the 2019-20 campaign which culminated in a seven-match winless run at the end of his reign.
Freddie Ljungberg has stepped into the Spaniard's boots on an interim basis, with the Gunners now on the lookout for their third permanent head coach in the space of two years.
