Tottenham Hotspur reportedly wanted the German and now Arsenal are being linked.
Arsenal fans are seemingly on board with the prospect of hiring Julian Nagelsmann, who was linked with Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month.
According to The Independent, the 32-year-old German manager is on the Gunners’ radar as pressure mounts on Unai Emery.
A last-minute equaliser spared Arsenal’s blushes in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with relegation-threatened Southampton at the Emirates, as Burnley and Wolves climbed above the seventh-placed Londoners.

Here’s how Arsenal fans reacted to the idea of appointing the Leipzig boss.
Nagelsmann is very exciting but, as of right now, that’s all he is, potential.
A lot of Arsenal fans would love him, but many more might feel a bit underwhelmed if Tottenham hire a name like Mourinho and the Gunners appoint someone who could be a world-class coach.
At the moment, Nagelsmann is no more accomplished or decorated than Andre Villas-Boas was at the same age and given the Portuguese’s failure in the Premier League, the Leipzig coach is hardly a guarantee as far as success goes.
