Arsenal are currently pushing for the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta, and they will be hoping to win the Premier League by the end of the season.
Arsenal are currently six points clear at the top of the table with Manchester City pushing to close the gap. According to a report from Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, the club hierarchy has been very patient with Mikel Arteta, and they want him to deliver trophies now.
If Arsenal fail to win the Premier League title this season, a sacking could be on the cards in the summer, with Cesc Fabregas an option to take over.
Arsenal eye Cesc Fabregas
The report from the Spanish publication claims that Arsenal are looking at Cesc Fabregas as a potential replacement. The 38-year-old has done an outstanding job at Serie A club Como, and he is regarded as one of the finest young managers in the game right now.
There is no doubt that the Spaniard could be a quality long-term option for Arsenal. He played some of his best football at the North London club as well, and returning to his former club could be exciting for the Spanish manager.
The former Chelsea playmaker has shown his quality in Italy, and he will look to take the next step in his development. The opportunity to return to the Premier League as a manager could be exciting for him. He would get to manage top-quality players at Arsenal and fight for major trophies.
Even though Fabregas has done well at Como, the Serie A club simply do not have the resources to win major trophies. At Arsenal, he will be able to compete regularly against elite clubs. Fabregas has 16 wins and 10 draws in 32 league matches this season. His team has picked up four wins and a draw in five Coppa Italia matches as well.
Can Arsenal get the deal done?
Meanwhile, Fabregas has been linked with multiple clubs in recent months. Other clubs are also monitoring his situation and could look to approach him about a managerial job. It is fair to assume that the 38-year-old manager would be inclined to take over at Arsenal given his history with the club.
The Spaniard was once a fan favourite at the North London club, although it is unclear if his appointment will be welcomed by the Arsenal faithful after his stint with Chelsea. For now, Arteta will look to hold onto his job for as long as possible by winning the Premier League title this season.
