Arsenal are set to appoint Unai Emery as their next manager.
After 22 years of service, Arsene Wenger will be leaving the Emirates this summer. As soon as the announcement was made, attention was then turned to who would be taking over the Frenchman as Gunners boss.
Now it seems we have our answer: former Paris Saint-Germain boss Emery is set to take over at the North London side.
This has sent the Arsenal supporters into a frenzy, particularly with their favourite journalist, Ornstein.
It should prove a popular decision by the Arsenal board for supporters. The hierarchy have come under-fire in recent years because of their refusal to sack Wenger despite the lack of progression with the club.

His last few years in charge of Arsenal, the side fell prey to hapless defeats in European competitions, whilst not ever getting near the top of the Premier League and making a serious challenge for the title.
The hope will be that Emery can do just that with Arsenal: rejuvenate the side into the club they once were: title-contenders and even a formidable European force.
So who is Emery? The 46-year-old has had an illustrious time so far in his managerial career. He has managed six clubs, most notably Valencia, Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and PSG. During this period, the Spaniard won three Europa League titles in succession, the Ligue 1 title and six domestic trophies with PSG, a club where he oversaw and maintained an impressive 76% win record.
The appointment will feel strange at first. For over twenty years, Wenger has been synonymous with Arsenal. But change had to come sooner or later. Let's hope it's the right move and the Gunners and get back to winning ways, under the guidance of their new manager.
