Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti who now handles Napoli has also been linked with a move to Everton according to the report.

Meanwhile, Freddie Ljungberg who replaced Unai Emery on interim capacity as Arsenal manager has also not been doing well for the Gunners and the club could hire a permanent boss soon.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Unai Emery was sacked by Arsenal following a torrid run of lacklustre performance that saw the Premier League side forfeit an early lead to suffer another 2-1 defeat to Frankfurt.

The Spaniard was shown the way out of Emirates Stadium after eighteen months in charge of the North London side.

His sacking was confirmed in a statement by Arsenal on Friday, November 29, ending growing speculations surrounding the former PSG boss' future with the Gunners.
