Quoted from Fourfourtwo, Tuesday (2/11), Newcastle are expected to start sorting personal terms with Emery before getting his signature.

One of the conditions is about the salary given as much as he made while at Arsenal. Emery coached Arsenal from 2018 to 2019.

The Spaniard comes with a reputation as a specialist in the Europa League, having led Sevilla to three titles in the competition. He led Arsenal to the 2019 final in Baku, Azerbaijan, where his side were crushed 4-1 by Chelsea.

Villarreal, his current team, beat Manchester United on penalties in this year's Europa League final. Emery is renowned for his pragmatism and defensive stability as a manager.

His time at Arsenal was criticized for being overly conservative tactics, during which he implemented multiple formations that failed to get the best out of his stars.

According to reports, Emery is also struggling with English. He also has experience managing clubs backed by Middle Eastern countries.

After his time at Sevilla, Emery moved to Paris Saint-Germain for two seasons, where he won the Ligue 1 title and was manager when Kylian Mbappe and Neymar joined the club.

If officially appointed by Newcastle, Emery is expected to battle it out in the relegation battle this season, with Newcastle languishing in 19th in the Premier League.

The Magpies are predicted to have a busy January, using their newfound wealth to buy new stars. Emery may be involved in the recruitment process, as Newcastle do not yet have a director of football.
