Rui Patricio speaks out on Nuno Espirito Santo to Arsenal links as pressure mounts on Unai Emery

Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio has stressed the importance of keeping Nuno Espirito Santo, amid links with Arsenal.

The Wolves boss has been heavily linked with Arsenal, with speculation continuing over the future of Gunners boss Unai Emery after a poor run of form in recent weeks.

Emery is under increasing pressure in north London, with fans calling for the Arsenal hierarchy to make a change after a 2-2 draw with struggling Southampton this weekend.

The Spaniard is set to take charge of the Europa League game against Eintracht Frankfurt at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow (Thursday), although Emery has said that he is not thinking about his future beyond that.

When asked about the speculation over his future ahead of the game tomorrow, Emery said his focus was only on today and tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Patricio has spoken of what Nuno Espirito Santo brings to Wolves, and how important it is to keep him at the club, ahead of their Europa League clash with Braga.

"For the club to develop and become greater it’s not just about the coach but also good staff behind the scenes. We have to work hard as a team and staff," he said.

"Stability is important at any club. Nuno is an outstanding coach and he’s also a leader.

“It’s very important to keep Nuno at the club, not only for the players but for the club as well. We have ambitions in this competition.”
