ARSENAL DENY JOSE MOURINHO MEETING AS PRESSURE INCREASES ON UNAI EMERY

Arsenal have denied any meetings have taken place between head of football Raul Sanllehi and Jose Mourinho as pressure continues to mount on head coach Unai Emery. A section of supporters have turned on the Spaniard following a run of two wins from their last nine Premier League games. Emery came in for criticism after his side allowed a lead to slip for the third time in a week as they drew 1-1 with Wolves on Saturday. And with continued scrutiny of Emery’s results and tactics, speculation over who could replace him if Arsenal wield the axe has led to former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho being linked to the post.

The Portuguese was in attendance for Arsenal’s 3-2 Europa League win over Vitoria last week and reports claim he is keen for another managerial job in England. There was also fresh speculation on Sunday morning Sanllehi had met Mourinho for dinner, fueling the fire over a potential move for the 56-year-old.
