Arsenal face losing Gilles Grimandi to Thierry Henry's new project at Bordeaux.

RMC says the Arsenal legend is primed to take over from Gus Poyet at Bordeaux, who had been suspended after comments made about the board.

And the World Cup winner is keen on adding former team-mate and Arsenal scout Grimandi to his backroom staff.

Poyet is technically still in charge of the French club but is expected to be relieved of his duties sometime next week.

And after successful talks with Bordeaux, Henry finally looks set to start his managerial career.
