Mourinho has been heavily tipped to succeed Unai Emery, who has come in for plenty of criticism in recent weeks following the Gunners’ poor form.
Plenty of Arsenal fans reacted to the news as it broke, and it’s safe to say that it has come as a shock to many.

Read Arsenal verdict
Even though he has been linked in recent weeks, the possibility of seeing Mourinho in the Emirates dugout now seems more real.
If the reports are true and Mourinho is talking to Gunners officials then it could turn out to be a busy few days for the club.
Emery will be hoping to take charge of the side against Leicester City on the weekend, however, if that goes poorly, fans may well see Mourinho in charge following the international break.
