Arsene Wenger tipped for PSG role as rumours of feud between Sporting Director Antero Henrique and Thomas Tuchel build
The Ligue 1 champions are flying at the top of the league but things have turned sour behind the scenes
ARSENE WENGER is set to join PSG with a row brewing between sporting director Antero Henrique and coach Thomas Tuchel, according to reports in France.
PSG are cruising at the top of Ligue 1 with a 100 per cent start after nine matches, but say Wenger is close to getting his first post-Arsenal gig.
In the domestic league they have scored 32 goals and conceded just six, with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe topping the goal scoring list.
In the Champions League, the tournament the Qatar owners are desperate to win, they are third in their group after a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool and a 6-1 win over Crvena Zvezda.
Despite things looking prettty rosy on the pitch, former Porto vice-president Henrique and ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Tuchel are said to be clashing.
Rumours have been rife since September that the the pair are at loggerheads, especially after the club failed to sign any midfielders in the summer window.
