Arsenal great George Graham admits he's yet to be won over by manager Unai Emery.

Ahead of today's derby with Tottenham, Graham wants to see whether Emery can improve his players.

He told The Sun: You think of the price of the boys from Stoke, Steve Bould and Dixon peanuts. And Nigel Winterburn peanuts. Emery has been around Europe.

So he must know players that he likes and thinks, 'If I can get him, I can improve him because he has the basic qualities I want'.

I'm positive he could do that. His first season I think was quite good.

He brought a bit of passion back into the game. You could see that in the way he acted and the way the players reacted.

But there's still a big problem they haven't got a base at the back, that foundation.

The next thing I'm going to look at is, how hard is Emery going to work with the team on the training pitch?

The front boys are on fire, so they will score goals. But I want to see how he improves the defenders and the midfield."
