Unai Emery has been warned not to sign this player

Former Arsenal forward Paul Mariner feels Gunners fans won’t be glad about the prospect of landing Marouane Fellaini

Arsenal linked with fellaini move

Arsenal are believed to be in the running to land the Belgium international midfielder in a free move this summer transfer window.

Fellaini’s present contract at the side is set to run out and the 30-year-old midfield maestro will become a free player.

Arsenal named Spanish tactician Unai Emery as Frenchman Arsene Wenger’s successor in May.

Manager to add experience to the squad

The former Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss looks to be bringing experience to his Arsenal team.

The north London club signed Switzerland international defender Stephan Lichtsteiner for free from Serie A champions Juventus.

However, ex-Gunner Mariner isn’t convinced the Manchester United star is the kind of recruit that club need.

Mariner, speaking to ESPN FC sais he is not getting excited about the move to land Fellaini.

“Would he (fellaini) fit in at the Emirates? I (Mariner) am not too sure (about it). He (Fellaini) is on a free transfer. He (Fellaini) is 30-years old.

The World cup bound midfielder has won the Emirates FA Cup, the UEFA Europa League and the Carabao Cup during four terms at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils haven’t won the English Premier League title since the 2013 success and the Arsenal target has been a major scapegoat for the regression period.
