'Announce Jose Mourinho' - These Arsenal fans are saying the same thing after Leicester defeat

Arsenal supporters are nearing the end of their tether with Unai Emery.

It is now no wins in Arsenal's last four matches, with Leicester running out 2-0 winners at the King Power Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Gunners dropped to sixth in the Premier League table with theirs and other results and are now eight points adrift of the top four.

Emery is under huge pressure and is the second favourite with some bookmakers to be the next manager to lose his job in the Premier League.

It is understood that as far as the Arsenal hierarchy is concerned, Emery's position is not under threat, with the head coach asked about his future earlier this week.

"We are speaking about our process to continue working and they did not show me some doubts," Emery said about any talks with the board.

One of those who has been linked with replacing Emery, if he is sacked, has been Jose Mourinho.

However, Arsenal have been eager to distance themselves from any links with such a divisive figure. Reports of a meeting between Raul Sanllehi and Mourinho were swiftly squashed with club sources insisting the pair have not spoken in years.

It is more than just that; a senior figure has told football.london that the Arsenal hierarchy would be hugely reluctant to turn to Mourinho.

But that has not stopped the Arsenal supporters having their say on Mourinho coming into the club. And after another defeat, his was the name on many fans' lips on social networking site Twitter on Saturday night.

When all is said and done, Emery needs results and quickly to turn things around.
