How Unai Emery’s shock move to Arsenal affects Chelsea

The surprising news has come out tonight that Arsenal are going to appoint Unai Emery as their new manager by the end of the week.

Emery had left PSG at the end of the season, and came in as a surprise choice after it looked certain that Mikel Arteta was going to get the job.

This means that the Gunners are now out of the great summer manager chase, leaving Chelsea standing as the last Premier League giant and one of the last top clubs in Europe still looking for a boss.

Luis Enrique has been linked with both the Gunners and Chelsea in the recent past, in Spanish publications like Sport so the fact that he’s now lost one of his major options will give the board at Stamford Bridge more leverage in negotiations, as it will with any other coach who might have been considered in North London.
