Raul Sanllehi

Despite saying they knew nothing about it, Manchester City did indeed know about Arsenal’s interest in Mikel Arteta and they DID have talks.

David Ornstein confirms that Arsenal and Mikel Arteta held talks over the Spaniard becoming the new Arsenal manager but the club have not yet spoken to Manchester City.

Edu is said to want Patrick Vieira as the next Arsenal manager while the club seemingly remain divided behind the scenes over who would be best for the job.

Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham reportedly recommended that the club sack Unai Emery after the draw against Southampton last weekend.

According to the Daily Mail, in what they are claiming as an exclusive, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is the new favourite to replace Unai Emery as Arsenal manager.

Unai Emery has told assembled reporters at his post-match press conference that the club are behind him but reports of Raul Sanllehi and Edu in the mixed zone after the game tell a different story.

According to a report last week, Arsenal’s chairman Sir Chips Keswick is keen to bring David O’Leary back to the club to help with ‘haphazard recruitment’.

David Ornstein has provided an update on Arsenal’s managerial situation and possible January transfers, but fair warning, it’s not a particularly exciting one.

Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham met 200 Arsenal staff at a planned get-together where they both addressed Arsenal’s faltering form under Unai Emery.

It has been claimed that Raul Sanllehi wanted Luis Enrique as Arsenal manager but we ended up with Unai Emery. Is that what Raul wanted? The answer will tell us a lot about where Arsenal go next.

Many Arsenal fans are hoping that, if the worst happens against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester on Saturday it will, at least, result in the removal of Unai Emery as head coach as we head into an international break, but that now seems incredibly unlikely.

Arsenal have identified their top targets to replace Unai Emery as head coach, if they make the decision to let the Spaniard go.

Arsenal’s Raul Sanllehi hasn’t spoken to Jose Mourinho for years, according to reports coming out of the club.

It has been widely reported that Arsenal and Unai Emery have a ‘break clause’ in his contract that would allow the club to walk away at the end of two years but it seems this might not be true.

Raul Sanllehi has insisted they expect Unai Emery to qualify for the Champions League this year, after failing to do so last season.

With the transfer window now closed, let’s look at the madness Arsenal pulled off.

Arsenal went into this summer hoping to clear a load of wages from their books and they’ve managed to do that to the tune of an astonishing £46m-a-year.

Arsenal have reportedly offered Alexandre Lacazette a bumper payrise in line with what is being offered to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Arsenal are reportedly confident they can structure a complicated deal that would see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang earn as much as Mesut Ozil through the use of bonuses.
