Why do you think only 1
I'm thinking 3 to 4.

He should do but a couple of seasons not challenging or making the CL could see him gone pretty sharpish.
Not at Arsenal and with Emery I'd say we are one of the early favorites for Europa League next season, which would allow regaining CL status.
Combine that with that we are unlikely to be as bad next season away as we were this season. Home Arsenal form was good enough to win Prem in most of the seasons and usually, Arsenal is one of the strongest away sides in the league.

Just don’t see him as that bigger improvement on Wenger tbh. And the teams above you are only gonna make further steps away imo.
How do you think he is not an improvement? Earlier you also mentioned that he won't be much of a change from Wenger when in fact his whole philosophy is quite different to that of Wenger.
In my opinion from the stuff I've been reading so far he was never going to succeed at PSG and to be honest was never the right man for the job either.

Honestly don’t think his style is that overly different from what you play now. Nice build up possession play But not great at setting a team up defensively. He seemed a bit more pragmatic in Europe especially at Sevilla. But conceded a fair few in the league. Agree was wrong for PSG!
What I know so far and read he is more up to making teams structured at the back and high pressing game. The slow build up possession play of PSG is one instilled in the club by Blanc earlier and accepted and adopted by players, which Emery tried to change unsuccessfully.
We will see how he does, but I for one am quite interested to see this summer how Arsenal will turn out in the pre-season games and how players will adopt the manager's vision and really hope if some players are resistant they are sold straight away no matter the status or name. Summer usually is a bit of a let down for Arsenal fans for lack of transfer activity, but at least this summer there will be something new to wait for.

Unai Emery's pre-season will be one game short (unless another is arranged). Game v Chelsea on 4 August is off due to clash with Community Shield.

With the money Arsenal will have they would be daft not to renew his contract.
It's not up to Emery.

Forgot all about Perez tbh. Be a better option than Welbeck.
The mentality isn't the best. Wasn't too keen on the competition for places with Giroud and Lacazette and now it's even harder with Aubameyang instead of Giroud.
I would prefer to sell them both as I think both are coming to their final 1 or 2 years of contracts and Arsenal need a proper winger more.
Welbeck is underrated. Work rate, quick, strong, tactically clever (Fergie used him in huge games, played cracker vs. Madrid), fills HG quota and is happy to be there as a squad option. Think even Jose said he was one of the players he wouldn't have sold.
