​Arsenal legend Winterburn: Emery has ushered in new post-Wenger era

Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn believes that manager Unai Emery is helping the club move on from the Arsene Wenger era.

Despite some tough moments this season, Arsenal are firmly in the running for a top four finish. They also have a chance to win the Europa League.

And Winterburn is impressed with how Emery has got the team playing in recent weeks.

He told talkSPORT of the changes at the club this season: "We're in a new era for Arsenal.

"Since Arsenal have moved to the new stadium, they've found it very difficult to compete.

"Yeah, they've won FA Cups, but in terms of Premier League titles, it's just non-existent.

"As a club we're looking to try and get back among the elite, and I think it's going to be very diffucilt for Arsenal to do that.

"Arsenal supporters realise we've got a long, long way to go.

"We're seeing different scenarios with Unai Emery: team selections, formations, substitutions at half-time.

"But the more important thing is it looks like the team are together and there's a driving force there.

"There's a good feeling around the stadium which was not there last season."
