Europa League: What Nuno Espirito Santo said about replacing Emery as Arsenal manager

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has refused to speculate whether he is keen to replace Unai Emery at Arsenal.

The Gunners have failed to win in their past six fixtures under Emery, and a host of names have been linked with his job in recent weeks.

Santo has recently emerged as a leading candidate to replace the Spaniard, as Arsenal's director of football Raul Sanllehi enjoys a close relationship with Nuno's agent Jorge Mendes.

But Santo has refused to comment on something that is not yet a "reality".

"You know me well enough. You know I'm not going to answer about that and mention an issue that is not a reality," Santo said, when asked to comment on the Arsenal speculation during a press conference on Wednesday.

"We're doing OK. There is a lot of room to improve as a group as a team. This is what we want to do, all together."

On whether the speculation has affected Wolves' preparation for Braga, he added: "It's not a distraction, at all. There are no distractions at all."
