Arsenal consider challenging Chelsea for free agent Luis Enrique

Arsenal are considering challenging Chelsea for manager Luis Enrique this summer.

El Mundo Deportivo says Gunners chiefs will consider Arsene Wenger's future at the end of the season.

And one of the names being touted is Chelsea target Enrique, who is half-way through a year-long sabbatical after quitting Barcelona last summer.

The tactician has been strongly tipped as Antonio Conte's replacement following success in La Liga with Barca.

However, it's been said that Arsenal could end up with Enrique's signature instead.

At Arsenal, they believe Enrique's adventurous style could help bring the best out of new signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

But it's added that Chelsea will not give up on Enrique without a fight.
