Unai Emery is venturing into doing extremely well at the Emirates with the defence appearing to be the first area due for an overhaul.

Everton are also keen into bringing the 22-year-old, who is inclusive in the Uruguay's World Cup squad, and has a declared €25m (£21.8m) release clause.

Emery's intention to shake-up the backroom could mean a dead end for Arsenal legends Steve Bould and Jens Lehmann, according to The Sun reports.

Former Gunner's renowned striker, Olivier Giroud stated he moved to Chelsea to maintain his world cup hopes.
Olivier Giroud has also credited his move from Arsenal to Chelsea with reviving his form in time for the World Cup.

"I had to impose myself at Chelsea," he told the London Evening Standard . "I've always been lucky enough to have made the right decisions, if I can say that. I've always felt that I've had good fortune in that way.

"It's not just about making the right choice. You have to make your mark too. I had the chance to do that and I'm very happy. It's a development in my career in terms of my club.

"I feel very good there and it was definitely a new challenge that was needed for my development, for the rest of my career, and also for the World Cup."

Reports reaching us states that Emery has the permission to appoint five of his closest ally's to his coaching staff, meaning Arsene Wenger's former aides could leave the club.
