9 candidates who can succeed Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager

Eddie Howe

Has Howe taken Bournemouth as far as he can?

If Arsenal are tempted to look for a homegrown appointment, their options are limited but Eddie Howe is a name that has been continually linked with the club over the years.

The 40-year-old has done a wonderful job over two spells at Bournemouth but has probably taken the club as far as he realistically can.

His attractive style of play would probably give him the edge over Burnley’s Sean Dyche but would Arsenal gamble their future on a manager who has never managed one of the top clubs?

Howe would be a good fit but I think he may need to prove himself somewhere else before one of the traditional big clubs take a risk on him.
