Bournemouth have stepped up their interest in Thierry Henry after seeking permission from Montreal to speak to the Arsenal legend.
Jonathan Woodgate has overseen a four-game unbeaten run since taking caretaker control following the departure of Jason Tindall at the beginning of February.
However, the club are looking at a big-name appointment and Henry emerged as a target earlier this week.
