The former Gunners midfielder has urged his old club to consider appointing the coach who guided their rivals to the Champions League final last term
Arsenal should bring in Mauricio Pochettino to replace under-fire manager Unai Emery, according to Paul Merson.
Emery's position at Emirates Stadium has been questioned on a number of occasions at the start of the 2019-20 campaign, as the Gunners have only managed to pick up four wins from 13 Premier League fixtures.
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by 19th-place Southampton at home on Saturday afternoon, which heaped even more pressure on Emery heading into a busy festive period.
