Unai Emery is a proven winner From Lorca Deportiva to Almeria down to Sevilla before moving to PSG. it can be seen that the Spaniard is a seasoned achiever this is something Arsenal have lacked following a run of 22 years without a major trophy both in England and on the continent level. 

GLIMMERS OF HOPE

Following the Arrival of the Spaniard something has been a significant difference. Unlike in the time of Arsene Wenger where there will be so much buzz on a transfer and in the end the transfer will fall through. with the first 3 week of Unai's arrival 3 of his prime targets have been sign within the period of a week. this is a huge sign of a difference in the helm. in the time of Wenger there were bids for Juan Mata(Manchester United), Ngolo Kante (Chelsea fc), Eden Hazard (Chelsea fc) etc. All these players ended up moving to other clubs for one reason or the other. But, under Unai within the period of a week 3 players have already been signed and one can only hope for more deal to be concluded before the commencement of the season. though despite all of this the end of the season alone will tell whether Arsenal made the right choice or not.
