Ex Arsenal defender, Martin Keown has said his former club should consider appointing Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager.
Pochettino was fired by Spurs on Tuesday after five years in charge and immediately replaced by Jose Mourinho.
The sack happened as Arsenal coach, Unai Emery keeps fighting for his own job after poor performances in the EPL and Europa League.
With Emery failing to impress, Keown feels Arsenal would be stupid to not think about signing Pochettino to take the club forward.
His words, “There’s no need for panic at Arsenal, we are getting close but the people at the top of the club should be considering Pochettino,”
“I think this is a hugely significant sacking that could cause massive ripples throughout the Premier League.
“Managers will be looking over their shoulders now. A lot of chairmen will want him. Real Madrid would take him, I think Arsenal would have to look at him.”
“We’ve lost that brand of football Arsenal had, the beautiful football they played under Arsene Wenger,”
“We’re losing our identity and we need to get it back really quickly. He looks like a man under pressure.
“He’s getting fractious in the media in terms of his communication, every time we see him it’s three-word answers, it’s not quite the projection the club will want.
“He really needed a break and he got one, so he’s got to bounce back now. The board will back him as long as they can, but he needs to improve the performances.
“I wish Emery well, but I believe we’re now on borrowed time.”
