Arsene Wenger is expected to confirm his commitment to Arsenal in response to rumours linking him with the vacant England manager's job.
Wenger has been mooted as a possible replacement for Roy Hodgson, who resigned this week following England's humiliating Euro 2016 exit to Iceland.
As reported by the Telegraph, Wenger is expected to be sounded out for the England managerial position, but the Frenchman is set to reject the advances, while there is no possibility of a job share.
Other candidates for the England job include Gareth Southgate and Jurgen Klinsmann, as reported by Sky Sports, with the Football Association to consider appointing a foreign coach.
Wenger has just over a year to run on his current deal at Arsenal and is renowned for honouring his contracts, suggesting that there is little possibility that he will leave the Gunners before the end of the 2016/17 campaign.
The Frenchman is closing in on his 20th anniversary as Arsenal manager, but, despite the success that he enjoyed during the early part of his tenure, the club have struggled for consistency in recent seasons and, much to the frustration of supporters, have consistently fallen short
Arsenal, who created 464 chances in the Premier League this term, have already made one new signing ahead of the next campaign, with midfielder Granit Xhaka arriving from Borussia Monchengladbach.
