UPDATE: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is with Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan at the Emirates Stadium, to watch Cardiff against Arsenal, and is set to become the manager of the Welsh club.
Earlier today Vincent Tan’s private jet was seen departing Norway with Tan and Solkskjaer on board, according to Norwegian television station TV 2.
The TV channel reports that Solskjaer is expected to put pen to paper before Cardiff City’s FA Cup match on Saturday away at Newcastle United.
Solskjaer will replace Malky Mackay as manager of Cardiff. According to reports in the British media, the Norwegian — who is currently under contract at Molde in his native country — will have the opportunity to spend in the January transfer window, which opened today.
