Arsenal Recruitment Chief Eyeing Move for Dortmund's Top Managerial Target This Summer

Arsenal are set to join Borussia Dortmund in the race to land in-demand Nice manager Lucien Favre this summer.

Several names have circulated across international media as Arsenal hunt for the perfect candidate to replace Arsène Wenger, who recently announced that he will step down at the end of the season. Candidates as varied as Luis Enrique, Patrick Vieira and Zeljko Buvac have all been linked with the soon-to-be vacant position.

Now, German magazine SportBild claim that Arsenal could challenge Dortmund for 60-year-old Favre, who has previously had spells in charge of Hertha BSC and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
