Arsenal target Tuchel wants out of Dortmund

According to The Sun, Arsenal are set to benefit from a spat between Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel and CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke.

The report suggests that Tuchel and Watzke's disagreement over the handling of the bomb incident prior to Dortmund's Champions League clash with Monaco has lead to Tuchel wanting to leave the club.

Tuchel is said to be furious that he had not been involved in the decision to play the quarter final match a day after three bombs exploded near the Dortmund team bus on their way to the Westfalenstadion. The incident caused defender Marc Bartra to have a wrist operation and left the players and staff understandably shocked.

Tuchel has been reported as a candidate to fill Arsene Wenger's shoes at the Emirates, should the Frenchman not have his contract extended this summer.
