Arsenal 'fear top stars will leave if Unai Emery stays'

Members of the Arsenal hierarchy have reportedly expressed fears that Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will leave the club if Unai Emery continues as manager next season.

Head of football Raul Sanllehi and technical director Edu are said to have held crisis talks soon after the club's 2-2 draw with Southampton on Saturday.

Emery finds himself under considerable pressure after managing just one win from his last seven games as Arsenal boss.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are fearful of the prospect of losing the aforementioned attacking duo if Emery is kept in his position until the end of the season.

Aubameyang and Lacazette will reportedly leave the Emirates should the club once again miss out on the top four in May.

Reports have also claimed that midfielder Lucas Torreira will seek a return to Italy amid growing frustrations over his tactical role under the Spaniard.
