Jose Mourinho is reportedly interested in becoming the new manager of Arsenal.

Despite the Gunners sitting in fifth position in the Premier League table, Unai Emery finds himself under pressure at the Emirates Stadium.

While the Spaniard has faced frequent criticism regarding his style of play and his side's failure to see out victories, the decision to hand Granit Xhaka the captain's armband has also not been well received by the club's supporters.

ESPN suggests that Arsenal are not contemplating a change in the near future, although it appears that has not stopped Mourinho from monitoring the situation.

The report claims that the Portuguese would be open to holding discussions with the hierarchy at the North London outfit should they opt to part ways with Emery.

Mourinho, who lives in London, has been out of work since being sacked as Manchester United boss in December last year.
