Why would Nuno Espirito Santo leave Wolves for Arsenal? talkSPORT host questions whether Molineux club’s manager would move

Nuno Espirito Santo is being linked with the Arsenal job - but Ally McCoist doubts he would leave Wolves for the north London club.

The Portuguese is reportedly on the Gunners' radar with Unai Emery struggling at the Emirates and under intense scrutiny after a poor start to the season.

Head of football Raul Sanllehi and director of football Edu are understood to want to give the former PSG boss more time at the Emirates.

But Sanllehi, who is friends with Santo’s agent Jorge Mendes, and fellow chiefs are making plans for the future should Emery fail to turn things around.

According to the , the Wolves boss has impressed the Arsenal hierarchy with the way his team play.

Santo led the club out of the Championship two seasons ago and to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League in 2018/19, resulting in Europa League qualification.

This term he has the Molineux club riding high again in fifth, a point ahead of Arsenal.

It is therefore not surprising that the Gunners are eyeing Santo as a potential replacement for Emery but, according to talkSPORT host and former Scotland star McCoist, it is not a move he reckons the 45-year-old would make right now.

"I don't think he would fancy that right now," said McCoist, speaking on the Sports Breakfast.

"I think there is a little bit of unfinished business at Wolves because they are absolutely flying.

"It depends on what he was offered. But Manchester United and Arsenal are miles from competing at the level they did again."
