Julian Nagelsmann is leader of a new wave of young 'laptop coaches'... so, who is the baby-faced prodigy being considered to replace Arsene Wenger?

As Arsenal enter what appear to be the dying days of the Arsene Wenger era, attention is turning to who will succeed the Premier League's longest-serving boss.

Sportsmail reported this week that the likes of Brendan Rodgers and Joachim Low are on the list of candidates to take the reins at the Emirates, but it is Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann who has emerged as an early favourite.

The young German was just nine years old when Wenger arrived in north London in 1996, and has been making waves in recent years as one of Germany's youngest and most talented coaches.
