Arteta was in pole position to succeed Arsene Wenger. However, Emery emerged favourite after talks with the club.
The 46-year-old recently quit Paris Saint Germain having led them to a Ligue 1 title and four domestic cup triumphs in two seasons and was replaced by Thomas Tuchel, one of those on Arsenal’s managerial shortlist.
Prior to his reign at PSG, the Spaniard worked with Sevilla where he secured three Europa League titles.
His non-fluency in the English language is not expected to be an obstacle to his coaching career at the Emirates Stadium.
The club is expected to make an official announcement and also hold a press conference later this week.
Stay tuned for more updates!
