Arsenal have denied they have approached Borussia Dortmund about appointing their manager Thomas Tuchel as a replacement for Arsene Wenger.

The French manager’s contract expires at the end of the season but he has been offered a new two-year deal.

Wenger, 67, says he will announce “very soon” whether he will stay after reaching a decision on his future.

However, he has been the target of fans protests after his side’s run of four league defeats in five games.
