Emery couldn’t control Neymar & PSG but his Arsenal project is exciting - Nicholas

The ex-Gunners forward was impressed by the summer transfer business at Emirates Stadium and is backing a Spanish coach to flourish in north London

Arsenal are a “tremendously exciting” prospect for 2019-20, says Charlie Nicholas, with Unai Emery now taking on a challenge that he can control after struggling with “explosive stars” at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Gunners’ Spanish coach is into his second campaign at the helm in north London.

He was unable to deliver a top-four finish or major silverware last season, but did offer signs of encouragement and has seen formed part of a productive summer transfer window.
