Arsenal fans have pelted club manager Unai Emery with abuse on his latest online post which celebrated Spanish football legend David Villa who recently announced his retirement from football.

The Gunners’ Faithfuls told the manager to retire alongside David Villa whom he coached while he was at Spanish La Liga giants Valencia.

Unai Emery is under serious pressure to hang on to his job as the Arsenal manager after leading the North Londoners to their worst start in the league for over three decades.

Arsenal have made their worst start in the Premier League this season after a record of just 17 points from the first 12 games.

The Gunners have won just four games in the Premier League all season and have amassed just two points from their last four games meaning that they are winless in those games.

The last win in the Premier League came against Bournemouth at home last month as David Luiz scored the only goal of the game in the first ten minutes to hand the Gunners a 1-0 win over the Cherries.

In addition, Arsenal are without a victory in each of the last five games in all competitions including the 2-0 league defeat at Leicester City on Saturday.

Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has revealed how he came close to joining Arsenal in 2016.

The Algerian international star talked about his close transfer to Arsenal in his latest interview with France Football as he narrated how Leicester City blocked the move against his wish.

Riyad Mahrez had just helped Leicester City to a miraculous title triumph in the Premier League during the 2015/16 season and was keen to leave the Foxes for a bigger club like Arsenal only for the Leicester City officials to kick against the transfer.

According to him, he wasted two years of his productive football life at Leicester City when he could have spent it at a bigger club.

Premier League champions Manchester City were the next big club to try and whisk Riyad Mahrez away from Leicester City.

The Citizens initially met resistance in January 2018 before their endeavor finally paid off last summer when he joined Manchester City from Leicester City for a then club-record fee of £60m and that has been slightly eclipsed by the Rodri transfer from Spanish La Liga giants Atletico Madrid to Manchester City this summer.

Rodri joined Manchester City in a deal worth £62m thus making the transfer the new record.

Former Arsenal striker Granit Xhaka could leave the club for Italy when the winter transfer window reopens in a few weeks’ time as it looks like the Swiss international star is keen to leave the North Londoners after his clash with fans last month.

Granit Xhaka has not played the last four Arsenal games in all competitions since his foul-mouthed rant towards the Arsenal fans during the league game with Crystal Palace in the London Derby clash played at the Emirates Stadium.

Swiss media outlet RSI claimed that Granit Xhaka has been spotted househunting in Milan and that has fuelled the possibility of a move to seven-time European champions AC Milan.

He has earlier been linked with Inter Milan in the summer though it seems the latest news is about AC Milan whose chief executive Ivan Gazidis was on the payroll at Arsenal before he moved to Italy.

Granit Xhaka was dropped as the Arsenal captain earlier this month by manager Unai Emery due to his misdemeanor last month during the league game with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

He reacted to chorus of jeers and boos from fans during the game while being substituted and that has led to his no-show at the club.

AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie is closing in on a move to Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers according to the newest reports from the British media.

Franck Kessie is in his third season at seven-time champions AC Milan after joining the Rossoneri from fellow Italian Serie A outfit Atalanta.

According to Birmingham Mail, Wolves are edging closer to a January transfer for Frank Kessie.

It was revealed that the earlier reports claimed that the Midlands club had agreed on a move for the Ivorian international star since the summer but that is wide off the mark.

Franck Kessie had previously been linked with the London duo of Arsenal and Chelsea.

The Ivorian midfielder was a transfer target for the two London clubs in the summer though the Blues were unable to make any transfer due to the FIFA ban.

Chelsea were handed a transfer ban for two windows after they were deemed to have breached rules about signing players under the age of 18 by world football’s governing body FIFA.

The West Londoners appealed to FIFA over the ruling but their appeal was thrown out thereby prompting them to take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) with the ruling expected later this month.

North London giants Arsenal have lined up one of their former players as a replacement for underpressure manager Unai Emery.

This is according to the specific report from The Sun which claimed that Arsenal are eyeing former midfielder Mikel Arteta to replace Unai Emery who has fallen short of expectations at this start of this season.

Mikel Arteta was close to being appointed as the Arsenal manager last summer before the Gunners hierarchy opted for Unai Emery.

Spanish tactician Unai Emery led the Gunners to fifth position in the Premier League in the last campaign as they missed out on Champions League football this season.

Unai Emery and his Arsenal players also had the opportunity to qualify for Champions League football this season via the Europa League last season but they were beaten by London rivals Chelsea 4-1 in the final.

Arsenal have struggled under Unai Emery this season with the Gunners already eight points off the top four spots on the Premier League table.

In addition, Arsenal are winless in the last five games in all competitions dating back to the 1-0 win over South Coast club Bournemouth.

Their last league game ended in a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester City.

PSV Eindhoven striker Donyell Malen has grown to become a key player for the former Dutch champions since he returned to the Netherlands two years ago.

The performance of the Ex-Arsenal starlet has attracted the interest of Spanish champions Barcelona who are looking for a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.

According to Football Whispers, Barcelona want to sign Donyell Malen when the January transfer window reopens in the next few weeks.

Donyell Malen is a Dutch international and he came through the youth academy at Eredivisie champions Ajax Amsterdam before leaving for the Premier League.

The 20-year-old was at Arsenal until August 2017 when the young attacker returned to his native Netherlands.

He has been in sensational form for PSV Eindhoven this term and it is not surprising that Barcelona are mentioned as potential suitors.

Malen has scored 16 goals in 19 games in all competitions for Europa League campaigners PSV Eindhoven.

He has 10 goals and one assist in 10 league games for PSV Eindhoven in this campaign.

Barcelona are on the search for the replacement for Luis Suarez who is gradually winding down on his career.

Luis Suarez would be 33 at the start of the New Year and the Uruguayan has scored six league goals this season.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has received the dreaded vote of confidence from the club amidst the poor run of results.

The head of football operations Raul Sanllehi met with over 200 Arsenal staff on Monday as he passed a vote of confidence on Spanish tactician Unai Emery.

The Arsenal director was quick to point out that results have to improve as from the next game at home to Southampton who are second bottom on the Premier League table.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been under serious pressure in recent weeks after results dwindled.

The Gunners are not without a win in their last five games in all competitions including the 2-0 defeat at the hands of Premier League highflyers Leicester City.

The Foxes scored two goals in the second half to give Leicester City a fourth league win on the bounce.

Jamie Vardy and James Maddison were on the scoresheet for Leicester City who is up to third on the Premier League table.

Retired England international Vardy is now the outright leading goalscorer in the Premier League as a result of that goal against the Gunners.

Arsenal have failed to beat Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Vitoria Guimares and Leicester City during this five-game winless run.

The race for the Premier League Golden Boot is hotting up after two of the frontrunners found the back of the net on Saturday.

Jamie Vardy and Tammy Abraham continue to set the pace as both players were on the scoresheet for their respective clubs earlier this weekend.

Leicester City striker Vardy continued his impressive goalscoring record against Arsenal after he scored and assisted another one to propel the Foxes to a 2-0 win at home to the Gunners.

He opened the scoring in the last quarter of the game before providing the assist for James Maddison to score the second goal.

It was the 11th league goal of the season for Jamie Vardy.

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also in the picture for the Golden Boot Award but the Gabonese international star was unable to add to his tally of eight league goals against Leicester City.

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham became the second player to hit double figures in the Premier League after he netted his 10th league goal of the season during the 2-0 home win over fellow London side Crystal Palace.
