Why Emery will not do business on English players
Arsenal boss Unai Emery is believed to be uninterested in deals involving English players because of the high price tags on them. The EPL policy of homegrown players might not be observed by the Spanish manager who is believed to be looking abroad for additions to his team in subsequent transfer windows.

Why Unai Emery has reasons to smile ahead of Liverpool clash
One of the biggest worries of Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been how to solve the crisis at the left full-back with the absence of Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac.

Why Arsenal fans need not worry ahead of Liverpool clash
Arsenal fans have got reasons to smile again ahead of the team’s Premier League clash against Liverpool at the weekend.

He was a bit less in his thinking, Unai Emery
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has blasted French striker Alexandre Lacazette for his mistake that cost the team the second penalty which led to a 2 - 2 draw.
