Paris Saint Germain are set to offer Arsene Wenger the job as general manager - but the Frenchman prefers a hands-on coaching role.

Owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi is friends with Wenger and is keen to find a position for the Arsenal manager once he steps down at the end of the season.

However, PSG, who are set to dispense with current boss Unai Emery this summer, already have an agreement with Thomas Tuchel to become head coach next season and are highly unlikely to renege on the deal.

Wenger, though, is being lined up for an administrative role that would see him act as a conduit between Tuchel and the PSG board.

But the 68-year-old is understood to want a traditional managerial role as he seeks day-to-day involvement on the training field.

Despite his age, Wenger has kept himself incredibly fit and believes he can still cope with the demands of top-level training on a daily basis.

Luis Enrique is the front runner to replace Wenger at the Emirates next season. But his £15million wage demands could prove a stumbling block.

Arsenal are reluctant to pay their next boss over the £8.5m Wenger currently earns. Meanwhile, the Gunners are ready to consider offers for Shkodran Mustafi in the summer as they look to bolster their £50m transfer kitty.

The Germany international has come in for criticism in recent months following a number of below par displays and Arsenal will consider cutting their losses on Mustafi, who arrived for £35m from Valencia at the start of last season.

Arsenal retain an interest in West Brom's Jonny Evans, who will be available for £3m once the Baggies' relegation is confirmed.
