Former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly not looking to become Arsene Wenger's successor at Arsenal, despite reports stating otherwise.

Recently, Bild claimed that the 44-year-old rejected the opportunity to be Bayern boss this summer and instead opened talks with Arsenal.

Wenger has just over one year left on his contract at the Gunners, where he has been in charge for the past two decades, winning three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups.

According to Sky Sports News, Tuchel's interest in potentially becoming the next Arsenal manager is false, and his preferred option would be Bayern, who will be looking for a replacement when Jupp Heynckes steps down at the end of the season.

The broadcaster claims that if Bayern do not come calling, the former Dortmund coach would be interested in a move to the Premier League, but he actually prefers Chelsea over Arsenal.

Tuchel has been out of work since last May, when he left Dortmund shortly after guiding the team to the DFB-Pokal trophy.
