Eddie Nketiah came through the ranks at Arsenal before he made his debut for the first team.

Eddie Nketiah has one Premier League goal for Arsenal and that came on the final day of last season.

The young Arsenal striker scored one of the goals as the Gunners beat hosts Burnley 3-1 in their final league game.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the other two goals for Arsenal.

Both Arsenal and Everton have struggled in the Premier League this season especially in the last two months.

Everton have dropped into the bottom three of the Premier League table under Marco Silva and the Portuguese manager will lose his job as a result.

On their part, Arsenal are looking for a permanent manager after the dismissal of Unai Emery.

Ex-Sevilla, Valencia and Almeria boss Unai Emery spent just 18 months in North London before he was booted out of the job.

Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg is now in temporary charge of the team.

Former West Ham midfielder and Leicester City manager Martin Allen is certain that Mauricio Pochettino will stay away from the Arsenal job because of four players.

Martin Allen talked about the transfer links involving Mauricio Pochettino and Arsenal while he was doing his punditry job on LoveSport.

According to him, Pochettino won’t take the Arsenal job mainly because of their incompetent central defenders and central midfielders.

Martin Allen said that the two Arsenal center-backs of David Luiz and Skhrodan Mustafi, as well as the Arsenal midfield duo of Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi, are not good enough for a top team like Arsenal and Mauricio Pochettino would prefer to take up a managerial job elsewhere.

Mauricio Pochettino is a free man at the moment after he was relieved of his job as the Tottenham Hotspur manager.

The Argentine tactician lost his job at Spurs five months after leading the North London club to the Champions League final.

The Arsenal job became vacant last week Friday after Unai Emery was sacked due to the recent run of poor results.

Spanish tactician Unai Emery also led Arsenal to a European final last season before the ex-Valencia and Sevilla was sacked six months later.

Sacked Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been strongly linked with the managerial job at Arsenal since it became available last week.

According to the report from the Manchester Evening News (MEN), Mauricio Pochettino is open to the idea of taking the managerial job at Arsenal.

He led Tottenham to just three wins in the first 12 league games played under him and that poor form led to his exit some months after the Champions League final.

Mauricio Pochettino masterminded the run to the Champions League final for Tottenham Hotspur before they were beaten by Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur have since appointed Jose Mourinho as his replacement and the Portuguese tactician has led his new club to three successive wins in all competitions ahead of the Premier League trip to former club Manchester United.

Apart from the Arsenal job, Mauricio Pochettino is also a top contender for the managerial job at Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

North London giants Arsenal have added another name to their managerial shortlist as the search for the replacement for Unai Emery continues.

According to the publication from Goal, Arsenal have made former Valencia and Villarreal manager Marcelona a target in the quest to appoint a new manager.
