Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham was pictured leaving the Manchester mansion of Mikel Arteta in the early hours of Monday morning as speculation over the Gunners' new manager intensifies.
In a further sign that Arteta may be set for the top job at the Emirates Stadium, the club's contract negotiator Huss Fahmy was also pictured leaving the property at 1.20pm.
Arteta, a former Arsenal player, is currently serving as No 2 to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
But he has been linked with the manager's job at the north London club following the dismissal of Unai Emery last month.
The visit of Venkatesham and Fahmy to Manchester came just hours after City defeated Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.
Pictures show the two members of Arsenal's hierarchy leaving Arteta's mansion and stepped inside a waiting Mercedes-Benz people carrier with blacked-out windows.
Venkatesham is intimately involved in the recruitment process to find Arsenal's new manager, all the more imperative after they were outclassed by City on Sunday.
The result left the Gunners sitting ninth in the Premier League table, seven points off the top four but also seven points from the relegation zone.
