Arsenal news: Guendouzi criticism, Aubameyang and Lacazette contract concern, Luis Enrique talks

Arsenal go into the international break with a defeat.

Losing 2-0 to Leicester leaves the Gunners eight points adrift of the top four and Unai Emery with a lot of thinking to do.

Emery will not be the only one, with the Arsenal hierarchy having a decision to make over his future too.

Everything around Unai Emery's future is in our round-up of the biggest stories from around Arsenal in the last 24 hours below, along with plenty on the defeat to Leicester and some concern from certain Gunners legends.

Guendouzi criticism

Matteo Guendouzi is often a beacon of light for Arsenal.

In a difficult season so far, Guendouzi and his no nonsense approach has often been lauded.

But he was not lauded on Saturday.

The Gunenrs were beaten 2-0 by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium and Guendouzi came in for some real criticism from the pundits on duty on Sky Sports.

Luis Enrique contact

One of those is former Barcelona and Spain boss Luis Enrique, who has previously been linked with Chelsea too.

And a Spanish journalist has suggested that contact has been made with Enrique from Raul Sanllehi.

Lacazette and Aubameyang concern

Arsenal have been trying to tie down frontmen Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette to new long-term contracts for some time.

But there has been no breakthrough in negotiations as yet.

And one Arsenal legend does not think there will be a breakthrough while Unai Emery is the head coach.

Ian Wright was angered by the defeat to Leicester and went as far as to suggest the two strikers could leave the club because of the poor form.

Candidates to replace Emery

As we head into another international break there are plenty of questions that need answering at the Emirates Stadium.

And the biggest one of the lot is whether or not Unai Emery will still be in the dugout when the Premier League returns after the break.
