Former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel has reportedly agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain prior to the beginning of next season.
The decision first reported by Bild, the German had been touted as a possible replacement for Arsene Wenger, should the Frenchman choose this season as his last in charge of the Gunners.

Arsenal are currently 13 points adrift of the Champions League places, with just six matches left to play.
Tuchel has been out of football this year, following his sacking from Dortmund at the conclusion of the 2016-17, where he endured a tricky relationship with influential figures within the club.
With time previously spent at Augsburg II and Mainz, the 44-year-old claimed his first major honour with a Deutsche Pokal win just prior to his sacking as Dortmund coach.
PSG are set to win Ligue 1 by an almost embarrassing margin, as they sit 14 points ahead of second-placed Monaco with six matches left to play.
However, a repeated failure to do the necessary business in the Champions League has meant an end to the managerial reign of Unai Emery at the Parc des Princes.
If Wenger does decide to walk away after what will be his 22nd year in North London, they will have to look beyond Tuchel for their next manager.
