Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen on taking over at the Emirates, and the shock news has split Arsenal fans right down the middle.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United manager has been out of work since leaving Old Trafford last December.
And according to reliable reporter Diego Plaza Casals, cited by Le 10 Sport, the 56-year-old is open to the possibility of replacing Unai Emery, should Arsenal give the Spaniard the sack.
As expected, the news quickly made its way across social media, and plenty of Gunners fans shared their views to @ZR_7G1’s post.
These supporters were all for the idea.

Read Arsenal verdict
The news comes as a shock, but really, we shouldn’t be too surprised.
Emery is under major pressure in north London and ‘The Special One’ is keen to get back in the managerial hot seat, so the charismatic boss registering his interest is a typical Mourinho move.
Arsenal look like they’ll stick with Emery over the next few weeks at least, however, if the Gunners’ struggles continue, officials may decide to pull the plug and move for Mourinho, especially following this latest update.
