  According to Sky Germany reporter Philipp Hinze, Arsenal legend Fabregas is a 'concrete' option for Leipzig after firing Marco Rose last month. But the German team are also said to be considering Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl and Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Fabregas is in his first season in management, and so far Como are 13th in Serie A and sit nine points above the relegation zone. The former Barcelona star seems set to guide them to safety and that appears to have caught Leipzig's attention. That would be a big step up for the 37-year-old with his managerial career.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The report also adds that former Benfica manager Roger Schmidt is also on their managerial shortlist, but Brentford's Thomas Frank will be 'hard to get'.

  WHAT NEXT?

  It remains to be seen if ex-Chelsea ace Fabregas will stay at Como or potentially head to Germany – if they go for him at all, that is.
