Whoever is chosen to become the next Arsenal manager will have huge boots to fill following the departure of Arsene Wenger.

The Frenchman transformed the North London outfit into Premier League heavyweights and created a style of football that was easy on the eye.

In his final few years in charge, though, the tide turned and fans grew increasingly frustrated by the lack of genuine title bids.

Last season, plenty of disgruntled supporters held protests in a bid to force the manager out.

Despite this, Wenger penned a new two-year contract, but a few weeks before the end of the 2017-18 season, he decided to call it quits.

According to Sky Sports News, former Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is the frontrunner to succeed the 68-year-old, while club legend Thierry Henry will also be spoken to by the hierarchy.

Both figures have little coaching experience, with Arteta spending the last two years assisting Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, while Henry has been splitting his Sky Sports punditry duties with working as Roberto Martinez’s number two in the Belgium national team.

The ongoing uncertainty over the manager’s hunt has got Arsenal fans talking on Twitter, with some suggesting that Henry and Arteta should team up at the Emirates.
