Arsenal are struggling to convince their top managerial targets about moving to London.

The Mirror says they are being put off joining as they believe they will not receive the backing needed to overhaul the squad.

Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez are among those to reject the chance to hold formal talks with the Gunners — despite the fact both would have earlier jumped at the opportunity.

Rodgers was Arsenal's No.1 target but he quickly committed his future to Leicester following Unai Emery's departure and Martinez is focused on Euro 2020 with Belgium, which he believes he can win.

Both saw it as a non-starter due to limited funds they'd have to spend and the toxicity around the club.
