Arsenal legend Robert Pires has tipped new Gunners boss Unai Emery as the clubs signing of the summer following his success in Spain and France. The former Paris Saint-Germain boss joined the club having taken over from Arsene Wenger who chose to step down from the club last season.
That will see the Spanish manager take Arsenal into a new era and there is much optimism at the club right now. The club have signed players such as Lucas Torreira, Bernt Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos. Though, club legend Robert Pires has tipped Unai Emery to be the actual signing for the summer as the boss takes the club into a new positive era.
‘The best signing for me is Unai Emery, the manager. Of course, I believe in the players, and especially the new players,” Pires explained to Sky Sports. ‘But for Emery, it’s very important to start very well. He knows he’s at a big club, and has a lot of pressure, but I think he has a big character and spirit. He won in Spain. He won in France. He has a lot of experience and I hope for him and Arsenal that he is successful with the club.’
