Arsenal are in talks today with sacked Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti was shown the door just three hours after the final whistle of Napoli's 4-0 rout of Champions League opponents Genk. The result sees the Azzurri reach the round of 16.

TMW says managerless Arsenal have moved quickly and are this morning in talks with Ancelotti's minders.

The Gunners have offered a two-year contract and are currently discussing financial terms. Negotiations are said to be progressing positively - and swiftly.

Indeed, it's claimed an agreement could be struck as early as this afternoon.
