He may be celebrating 20 years in charge of Arsenal, this week but Arsene Wenger is apparently ready to step down as manager of the Gunners.

The Frenchman, who has overseen three Premier League title winning campaigns during his two decade long tenure in North London, is reportedly ready to hand the reigns over to Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, according to reports, this morning.

Howe is believed to be the favourite to succeed Wenger, although should Bournemouth get relegated from the Premier League this season, that would likely change.

Wenger's current contract is set to expire next Summer and the former Monaco boss is yet to sign an extension, fuelling reports that he is now preparing for retirement.
