Harry Redknapp has backed Arsenal to make a move for former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to replace Unai Emery.
Redknapp says that he thinks Arsenal will be looking at Pochettino and wondering whether or not he would be willing to switch to the other side of North London.

Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham last week and replaced by Jose Mourinho, following a poor run of form in 2019.
READ ARSENAL VERDICT
There is no doubting Pochettino’s credentials, given his impressive work at Tottenham – establishing their place in the top four and reaching a Champions League final. His coaching is also one of his main strengths, with him having improved the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son during their time at the club.
He would be an excellent appointment, but it would also be a huge shock to see him accept the job. Pochettino was with Spurs for over five years and it has not even been two weeks since his sacking, which means that he may still feel as though he owes them a degree of loyalty. Joining their biggest rivals, in Arsenal, would be something that Pochettino could not come back from and would likely ruin his relationship with the Spurs fans.
