Wenger saw his side slip to eighth in the Premier League after a morale crushing 2-1 defeat against Manchester United on Saturday, fuelling speculation that the Frenchman will soon be replaced.
The Gunners boss has held talks with chief executive Ivan Gazidis about the current situation, but has always claimed that if he feels he is no longer the right man for the job then he will step down.
After 18 years with the same manager many feel it is time for a new direction, but the North Londoners should avoid jumping the gun unless a top quality manager can be brought in to replace Wenger.
Although Klopp is currently in the midst of one of Dortmund’s worst ever seasons, there is no denying that he is a superb manager.
Having wrestled the Bundesliga title off Bayern Munich in two consecutive seasons, the German boss would certainly bring a winning mentality to North London.
Also being chased by Liverpool as a replacement for Brendan Rodgers though, Arsenal could face competition for his signature.
