Bournemouth have approached Montreal Impact for permission to speak with coach Thierry Henry.

The Championship outfit have made contact with Henry's current club CF Montreal for permission to speak with the Arsenal legend about filling their managerial vacancy.

The Cherries have been without a boss since axing Jason Tindall at the start of this month.

First-team coach Jonathan Woodgate has been in interim charge.

The ex-England defender has won three of his four games and will manage the side for Saturday's clash with QPR.

But Henry, 43, has emerged as the front-runner to succeed Tindall.
