Senior officials at Arsenal have identified Como head coach, Cesc Fabregas, as the ideal candidate to replace Mikel Arteta.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Arteta could be in his last days as manager at the Emirates.
The Gunners began 2026 on a great note and in the running for four trophies.
But Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final and lost to Southampton in the FA Cup quarter-final.
Arteta’s men had the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 12 points on Saturday, but ended up losing 2-1 to Bournemouth at home.
The result saw a lot of supporters walk out of the stadium before the full-time whistle, as the fanbase becomes apprehensive of the team bottling the title again.
The poor run of form is also being discussed in the boardroom and the hierarchy believes there might be need to change the manager if the team fails to win any silverware.
Former Arsenal captain, Fabregas, who is leading Como’s charge to qualify for Europe, is a heavy favourite for the role if Arteta leaves.
