Premier League boss Richard Scudamore is a target for Arsenal as their next chief executive.
It is not clear if Scudamore can be persuaded to leave the £1million-a-year chief executive post he has held with the League since 1999 but he is certainly held in high regard at Emirates Stadium.
Other names linked with the Arsenal post have included Birmingham City's Karren Brady, London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton and former Chelsea business affairs director Paul Smith.
