Sven Mislintat has been unsettled at Arsenal over claims of broken promises.
The Mirror says head of recruitment Mislintat's future is in serious doubt.
Arsenal officially insist Mislintat is not leaving amid reports that the ex-Borussia Dortmund scout is on his way out with Bayern Munich rumoured to be keen to take him back to Germany.
But there do exist issues at the training ground as it is believed Mislintat's nose could have been put out of joint because Arsenal are looking to bring in a technical director.
Sources claim that Mislintat - who was brought in by former chief executive Ivan Gazidis - believed he would get that job if it became available.
