Arsene Wenger is reportedly in talks to take over at AC Milan as their new head coach.

Wenger left his post at Arsenal after 22 years at the end of last season but has vowed not to retire from football.

The Frenchman explained in October he planned to resume his managerial career in January although gave little indication as to where his next destination will be.

France Football report however Wenger is in advanced talks with Milan with the Rossoneri eager to replace Gennaro Gattuso with the Gunners legend – a move orchestrated by new owners Paul and Gordon Singer.

They add Wenger will be given more control over transfers than Serie A coaches are typically afforded and will work closely with sporting director Leonardo over strengthening the squad.

Milan are already 10 points behind Serie A leaders Juventus 11 games into the new season.

Wenger was briefly linked with the Real Madrid job in the summer following Zinedine Zidane’s departure and again following Julen Lopetegui’s dismissal.

Such a move would see Wenger reunited with Ivan Gazidis. Arsenal’s current CEO is set to take up a new role with the Serie A giants in December.
