Arsenal
have made Nuno Espirito Santo their number one target to replace Unai Emery.
The
Spaniard is struggling at the Emirates and is under intense scrutiny after a
poor start to the season.
Unai
Emery is under increasing pressure at the Emirates after a poor run of form
Head
of football Raul Sanllehi and director of football Edu want to give the former
PSG boss more time at the Emirates.
But,
Sanllehi is also firm friends with Santo’s agent Jorge Mends.
According
to the Daily Mail, the Wolves boss has impressed the Gunners’ hierarchy with
the way his team play.
The
Portuguese lead the club out of the Championship two seasons ago, with many
critics considering them the best side to ever play in the English second tier.
Santo
is rapidly establishing himself as one of the best managers in the Premier
League
Santo
proved it to be no fluke, finishing first in his debut Premier League campaign,
taking the scalps of several top clubs along the way, as well as reaching the
FA Cup semi-final.
Wolves
are currently in the Europa League as a result of their previous success,
initially struggling with the extra work load.
But,
once again, Nuno has proved to be the right man for the job and has lead the
club back to fifth in the table and in pole position to qualify from their
Europa League group.
The
Gunners are considering putting first-team coach Freddie Ljungberg and academy
boss Steve Bould in charge until the end of the season, when their top-tier
candidates should be more readily available.
