Arsenal are reportedly considering Cesc Fàbregas as a potential replacement for Mikel Arteta amid growing uncertainty over his future.
Reports suggest Arteta could be nearing the end of his time at the Emirates if the team fails to secure silverware this season.
Arsenal’s campaign, which started with high expectations and hopes of multiple trophies, has been derailed in recent weeks.
The Gunners lost 2-1 to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final and were eliminated from the FA Cup by Southampton.
Their Premier League push also suffered a setback after a 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth, despite having the opportunity to extend their lead at the top.
Frustration among supporters has grown, with some fans leaving the stadium before full-time during the latest defeat.
Behind the scenes, club officials are said to be evaluating the situation, with Como manager Fàbregas, an Arsenal legend emerging as a leading option should a managerial change be made.
