Next Arsenal manager odds: The favourites to succeed Arsene Wenger

Arsenal are stepping up their search for Arsene Wenger's successor after the Frenchman oversaw his final game at Huddersfield on Sunday.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the winner as Wenger signed off with a 1-0 victory at Kirklees Stadium before bidding farewell to the travelling fans for a final time.

Standard Sport understands Massimiliano Allegri, Mikel Arteta and Julian Nagelsmann are among the names under serious consideration.

Arteta is also the bookmakers favourite and Pep Guardiola has said he won't stand in the way of the Manchester City coach should he opt for a move back to north London.

The City boss said: "If he stays I will be the happiest guy in the world and if he decides to move because he has this offer, this option, I will not say you do not have to go."

Massimiliano Allegri (4/1) is also among the frontrunners, with former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers (5/1) and Unai Emery (12/1) making up the leading candidates.
