Arsenal respond to claims Mourinho ‘dined’ with club chief over replacing Emery

Arsenal have denied any meetings have taken place between head of football Raul Sanllehi and former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho as pressure continues to mount on Unai Emery at the club.




A section of fans have turned on the Spaniard after a run of two victories from their last nine Premier League matches.

Unai Emery came in for criticism after his team allowed a lead to slip for the third time in a week as they drew 1-1 with Wolves.

Raul Jimenez’s header earned Wolves a point at the Emirates Stadium after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had given Arsenal a lead with his 50th goal for the club.




And with continued scrutiny of Emery’s results and tactics, rumours over who could replace him if Arsenal wield the axe has led to Jose Mourinho being linked to the post.

The Portuguese was in attendance for Arsenal’s 3-2 Europa League victory over Vitoria last week and reports claim he is keen for another managerial job in the Premier League.

There was also fresh speculation on Sunday Sanllehi had met Mourinho for dinner, fuelling the fire over a possible move for the 56-year-old.

However, Sky Sports News reports that such a meeting did not take place at all and the pair have not had a conversation for years.
