AS Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim is keen to hear from Arsenal about next season.

The Independent says the Portuguese coach is hugely admired at the Emirates.

And he is one of the potential candidates eyed to replace Wenger should the Frenchman's tenure finally come to an end.

And Jardim wants to take over next season.

Monaco's 43-year-old manager was initially lined up to replace Wenger if he chose to go at the end of last season.

And he has emerged as an option again.

With Jardim in his fourth season at Monaco, it is claimed he now seeks a new challenge.
