- Arsenal are eyeing a move for Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann as replacement for Arsene Wenger

- Wenger's 22-year reign in charge of the Gunners could come to an end at the end of the ongoing Premier League campaign

Julian Nagelsmann who is the head coach of German club Hoffenheim has emerged as another contender to replace embattled Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Wenger's 22-year reign at Arsenal could come to an end at the end of the ongoing Premier League season even though he has a year left on his current deal with the Gunners.

He is currently under heavy fire from Arsenal supporters and the board following their side's humiliating 3-0 Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City last Sunday.

The Gunners were also condemned to another embarrassing defeat on Thursday night, March 1, at the Emirates Stadium against Manchester City.

Julian Nagelsmann is one of the hottest managerial prospects in the game despite only turning 30 last summer.

He became the youngest manager in Bundesliga history aged 28 when he took over at Hoeffenheim in February 2016.

The German side were then 17th in the Bundesliga standings, battling to avoid relegation, when Nagelsmann was appointed but he led them to safety with seven wins from 14.

Earlier, NAIJ.com had reported how Arsenal suffered another embarrassing defeat against current Premier League leaders Manchester City losing 0-3 in front of their fans on Thursday nigh, March 1.

The Gunners went into the match with aggressive minds after losing to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final four days ago at Wembley, but they were taught another lesson by Pep Guardiola's men.

It took only fifteen minutes of the game for Manchester City to score their first goal through Bernardo Silva who was assisted by Leroy Sane.
