Report: Arsenal Set to Name Mikel Arteta as Next Manager

Arsenal's search for its next manager could be coming to a close soon.

Manchester City assistant Mikel Arteta is set to be named the Gunners' next manager "in the coming days," according to ESPN's Julien Laurens and Rob Dawson.

Arsenal's managing director Vinai Venkatesham and lawyer Huss Fahmy were seen visiting Arteta at his home on Sunday for a meeting that reportedly lasted more than two hours.

ESPN reports negotiations with Arteta could move quickly. He is scheduled to meet with Josh Kroenke, the son of owner Stan Kroenke, on Monday.

City has not received a formal approach for Arteta and was reportedly "bewildered" by the photos of the meeting at his home.
