Unai Emery hopes he’ll be given the support at Arsenal that he lost at Paris Saint-Germain following Neymar’s arrival.

The Spaniard left PSG in the summer after leading them to the treble last season.

And in an interview with Spanish website The Tactical Room, published in May, he said: “In each club you must know what role you play and what role you assign to the rest of the group.

“My opinion is that at PSG the leader is called Neymar.

“This is a process that still needs a little bit of time to consolidate. In Manchester City, the chief is Pep [Guardiola]. At PSG, the leader must be Neymar.”

Emery, whose Arsenal side take on PSG here in Singapore tomorrow in their second International Champions Cup match, was asked about his comments and if he believes he will get more support at his new home.

He said: “I don’t have the memory of how I said that, but I have my idea, my way, and the support is here for me to work with the same mentality I wanted in all my career.

“To give to the team a good spirit and a good energy with very good quality players.

“This is my idea, my work every day.”

Emery confirmed that Alex Iwobi is close to penning a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2023.

He added: “My information is he is going to sign.”
