Unai Emery is expected to be announced as the new Arsenal manager later this week after the club agreed to hand over control to the former Paris Saint-Germain boss.

Up until a few days ago, Mikel Arteta was favourite for the job but negotiations reportedly hit a snag over concerns about his backroom staff and the level of control he would have.
Focus immediately turned to Emery, who was sacked as PSG manager earlier this month and replaced by Thomas Tuchel, who had also been a target for Arsenal.

In Emery's second season in charge, PSG claimed a domestic treble but felt it was time to appoint a new manager.
