Shock claims emerged yesterday that PSG had made a move to try to convince Mikel Arteta to join them.

However, discussions supposedly did not go well and the Parisians have since turned to over targets.

Enrique is now the leading candidate to takeover the club.

The former Barcelona gaffer has been out of work since leaving his role in charge of the Spain national team following an disappointing World Cup.

L’Equipe claim he has accepted PSG’s personal terms and is now into the final stages of talks.

Enrique was linked with both the Chelsea and Tottenham jobs earlier this year.

PSG also reportedly held talks with Julian Naglesmann but the deal collpased.

The French side are set to undergo a squad overhaul this summer after Lionel Messi quit for Inter Miami.
