GETTY Thomas Tuchel is seeking a new club, with Arsenal and Chelsea both linked

Arsenal emerged as a contender for Tuchel’s signature at the start of the week as the former Borussia Dortmund boss seeks a return to club management. A deal for the German has supposedly been mooted in case Arsene Wenger departs the Gunners in the summer. Chelsea have also been linked with Tuchel if, as expected, Antonio Conte exits Stamford Bridge in June. But reports in France claim Tuchel has suddenly shot onto the radar of PSG - and they are most keen to appoint him.

According to L’Equipe, Tuchel has now emerged as the favourite to replace Unai Emery at the Parc des Princes. Emery’s days in Paris are numbered after his side exited the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid earlier this month. PSG are understood to have contacted former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique about the future vacancy - but the Spaniard is keen to join Chelsea and will not be heading to Paris. Options for PSG are thin on the ground, with Conte and a host of Italian managers - including Roberto Mancini and Carlo Ancelotti - supposedly eyeing the Italy national team post.
