Inter Milan's Scudetto winning coach Antonio Conte is being discussed inside Arsenal.
The Telegraph says Arsenal are considering Conte as Mikel Arteta's replacement if the Gunners' dismal start to the new season continues.
The Gunners have lost 2-0 in both of their Premier League games, against newly-promoted Brentford and London rivals Chelsea respectively.
Arteta is under pressure to improve results over the next five top-flight matches before the second international break in October.
Ex-Chelsea boss Conte has been out of work since May, having led Inter Milan to a first Serie A title in 11 years.
The Italian departed after just two years in charge amid financial uncertainty and was in talks with Tottenham Hotspur for their vacant post before negotiations broke down
