According to Sports WorldArsenal are set to sack Arteta at the end of the season if he fails to win either the Premier League or the Champions League.

It is claimed that his time in north London is “running out”, with doubts within the club said to have been ongoing for some time.

It is also understood that the Gunners have already identified their main candidate to replace him: Como manager and former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fàbregas.

Since joining Como as head coach in the summer of 2024, the 38-year-old has made significant progress, guiding the club from Serie B to the Italian top flight, Serie A.

Como, who currently sit fifth in the table, are now competing for the European places and could even secure a remarkable Champions League spot for next season.
