The FIVE contenders to replace Arsene at Arsenal (with Klopp top target)
JURGEN KLOPP (Chances of coming to Arsenal - 8/10)
Klopp has been linked with the Arsenal job following six seasons of success at Borussia Dortmund. But he may feel its time to move on, Bayern's reign of dominance doesn't look like stpping anytime soon.
With Marco Reus and Mats Hummels looking to jump ship, Klopp could be left with no reason to stay at the Germany club despite a strong mutual relationship between Dortmund and the 47-year-old

DIEGO SIMEONE (Chances of coming to Arsenal - 7/10)
Simeone is reportedly a target for Manchester City should they wish to replace Manuel Pellegrini, so Arsenal can expect competition if they wanted to lure the Argentine boss to the Premier League. He is happy at Atletico Madrid - winning La Liga last season. But after seeing Diego Costa, Filipe Luis and Thibaut Courtois leave for Chelsea, Simeone could consider replacing Wenger as a step up.

ROBERTO MARTINEZ (Chances of coming to Arsenal - 6/10)
Martinez was touted as a potential Wenger replacement before he left Wigan for Everton. Looks settled at Goodison Park but would have to consider the Arsenal job if offered an interview. Showed his loyalty by snubbing Liverpool while at Wigan in 2012, going on to win the FA Cup that season. May decide his future lies at Everton, but more money, a bigger club and genuine title aspirations could turn his head.

PEP GUARDIOLA (Chances of coming to Arsenal - 2/10)
Has intimated he will look to manage in the Premier League when his contract at Bayern Munich expires in 2016. Wants Manchester United, but City want him. Chelsea also tried to lure Guardiola before re-appointing Jose Mourinho. Would be a shock coup for Arsenal but the ex-Barca boss has revealed his admiration for the Gunners in the past and could look at the job.

CARLO ANCELOTTI (Chances of coming to Arsenal - 1/10)
Ancelotti manages the European champions, so he is almost a certainty not to quit Real Madrid for a top-four battle with Arsenal. But things change at the Bernabeu very quickly and while the Italian is well-liked now, he could be out of favour within months should things sour on the pitch. An injury to Cristiano Ronaldo is probably the only thing that could cause a slump, but stranger things have happened. Admits he fancies another crack at a job in England after leaving Chelsea with unfinished business, winning the double only to get sacked months later. Ancelotti at Arsenal doesn't sound right, but he should be a contender given his achievements.
