Jose Mourinho is on the hunt for a Premier League job.
And struggling north London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham have been linked to the Special One.
Reports in the UK say that Mourinho is a man on a mission, looking to rewrite history by becoming the first man to win silverware with three
English clubs.
Having won nine major trophies with Chelsea and Manchester United, the Portuguese coach is keen to add to his impressive haul.
With Unai Emery seemingly losing control of his players and results sliding, the Gunners job looks like an attractive option.

Mourinho, though, knows success won’t come overnight at Arsenal and told SkySports last month: “There are many ways [for Arsenal] to close the gap [on Liverpool and Man City].
“One is to wait for them to come down a little bit. In top organisations, there will be a moment where they will come down. The other possibility is to invest more – not just buying players, but you have a structure to build.

“It’s not only the things fans see, but there are hidden work that needs to be done [at Arsenal].”
Spurs and Mauricio Pochettino have also failed to hit the heights that took them to the Champions League final in May.
Mourinho has already declined offers at former club Benfica and a £90m proposal from Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande.

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Emery is keen to stand by his under-fire captain Granit Xhaka after he was booed off the pitch in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Xhaka, who responded by telling fans to “f*** off”, has been offered counselling to get him back into the right frame of mind after Emery revealed that the Swiss was “devastated”.
