Arsene Wenger is interested in a high-profile return to football management with Bayern Munich.

As reported by Telegraph Sport, Wenger this month rejected the chance of making a comeback with Premier League strugglers Fulham.

The Frenchman is adamant he will not take over at another English club, having spent 22 years at Arsenal before leaving in the summer.

Having been out of work for six months, Wenger has stated he hopes to return to management in the New Year and Telegraph Sport understands he has an eye on the Bayern post.

German reports have claimed that Wenger is being discussed by the Bayern board as a potential successor to Niko Kovac, who has struggled in the job.
