RUMORS: Howe an option to replace Wenger at Arsenal

The Bournemouth manager is reportedly being talked about in the Gunnes' boardroom as the man to take the helm, with the incumbent to take another role.

Eddie Howe is being touted as a potential replacement for Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, according to The Sun.

The Bournemouth coach has been highly rated after keeping his side in the Premier League following its promotion from the Championship.

And the Gunners board reportedly sees him as an option to take the helm of the first team should Wenger leave this summer.

The Frenchman's current deal expires at the end of the season, though he could renew his contract. Should he opt to bring an end to his coaching career, Wenger is expected to take up another role within the club.
