Martin Keown believes former club Arsenal should look at appointing Mauricio Pochettino

‘There’s no need for panic at Arsenal, we are getting close but the people at the top of the club should be considering Pochettino’, speaking at Sportsmail’s A Pint with Piers event in London on Wednesday night.

The former centre-back believes Pochettino’s departure could spark upheaval throughout the division and even Europe.

‘I think this is a hugely significant sacking that could cause massive ripples throughout the Premier League. 

‘Managers will be looking over their shoulders now. A lot of chairmen will want him. Real Madrid would take him, I think Arsenal would have to look at him.’
