Arsenal are reportedly looking to appoint Jose Mourinho if they choose to terminate Unai Emery’s tenure at the Emirates, that’s according to a report in The Sun.
Emery is currently under extreme pressure in north London, most recently throwing away a two-goal lead at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Gunners have won just two of their last five Premier League games, and are already losing ground in the race for the top four.
Instead of catching up with fourth-placed Chelsea, who are four points ahead of them, they are more concerned with the drop behind them, with three points separating themselves from 11th-placed arch-rivals Tottenham.
And Emery’s position is understood to be under serious threat, while Mourinho is deemed to be the perfect candidate.
Mourinho has been without a club since last December when he was sacked by Manchester United.
The Portuguese boss had been tipped to return to Real Madrid, with Zinedine Zidane under pressure at the Bernabeu.
However, after last week’s Champions League win over Galatasaray, it is believed Zidane’s position is no longer under immediate threat.
