Reports in England claim that Arsenal will hold talks with legendary striker Thierry Henry as they continue the search for a replacement for Arsene Wenger in the Emirates hot seat.

With Wenger's incredible 22-year tenure at the club now over, Arsenal are searching for a successor to the man who changed English football for the better.

An extensive search is already underway to find the ideal candidate to take up the reins, with various sources claiming that Henry will enter talks early next week.

Former Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is currently considered the favourite for the role, though there are still reservations over his lack of experience.

Arteta is believed to have held talks over the position on Thursday, with the club having already lined up discussions with a number of other candidates, including Henry.

The 'Gunners' are believed to be keen on having a new man in place before the start of the World Cup on June 14.
