Arsenal have contacted Bordeaux manager Paulo Sousa over the vacant managerial role at the Emirates Stadium, according to the manager's representatives. Sousa is liked by the Arsenal hierarchy, and he'd likely leave the Ligue 1 club if a formal offer is made. While Sousa isn’t the only manager Arsenal are considering, he’s toward the top of their shortlist. If the Gunners were to offer Sousa the job, he could leave Les Girondins at any point, given he has just a £2.5million buy-out clause in his contract.
