Emery given a month to save Arsenal job and Zlatan Ibrahimovic could return to Milan

Unai Emery is given a month to save his job at Arsenal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic could return to Milan and Kylian Mbappe's Real Madrid 'dream' is revealed.

Emery given a month to save his job

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has been given a month to prove that he is the right man for the job at the Emirates. According to reports from the Mirror, Arsenal are desperate for the 48-year-old to succeed in his role and expect him to deliver Champions League qualification this season. However, the Gunners could end up nine points behind Leicester City if they lose to the Foxes next Saturday, which would leave their European dreams in tatters. Former club captains Patrick Vieira and Mikel Arteta are rumoured to be on the club's radar, while ex-Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has also been linked with the role. 

*** Things are getting tense in north London. Arsenal have only won two of their last nine Premier League matches and face high-flying Leicester next weekend. It's clear that Emery is underachieving with this Arsenal squad, but the real test will come over the next month with winnable matches against Southampton, Norwich, Brighton and West Ham. If Arsenal don't perform in these matches, it will be difficult to see Emery in the Emirates dugout during the festive period. 

Ibra to return to Milan? 

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly set for an extraordinary return to AC Milan after leaving MLS club LA Galaxy. The Sun report that the 38-year-old has made his mind up, despite interest from other top European clubs such as Napoli and even a potential return to Manchester United. Ibra played for the Milan club from 2010 to 2012, where he led the Rossoneri to the Serie A title in 2011. Club legend and director Paolo Maldini has dubbed the potential free signing as a "dream return" for Ibrahimovic. 

Mbappe's Madrid 'dream' revealed 

Monaco president Vadim Vasilyev has admitted that he spoke to superstar Kylian Mbappe about the possibility of moving to Real Madrid before the 21-year-old left for Paris Saint-Germain back in 2017. Mbappe was heavily linked with a transfer to Madrid, but ended up staying in France with PSG. The youngster refused to rule out a future transfer to Real Madrid and is reported to have told the Monaco president "it is too early... Real Madrid will wait", as the Parisian eventually moved to his hometown club.
