Allardyce was sacked as
Everton boss this week with Marco Silva the favourite to replace him.
The Toffees have been linked with a move for former PSG boss Emery, but Laurens doesn't think he will be heading to England any time soon.
"No, I don't know why it would be a dream," he said on the Totally Football Show when asked if a move for Emery is just a pipe dream.
"I'm not sure Emery is attracted by the Premier League right now.
"I think he realised in Paris that the language barrier, even if he spoke a bit of French, was an issue. So I'm not sure how good his English is, but I can't see him coming over pretty soon."
And Laurens believes Silva is the man to replace Allardyce, because he's the complete opposite.
"I think Marco Silva is the one mentioned a lot now because he was first choice before Allardyce and I can see why," he added.
"I think he is very talented, bright young manager, and I think he will do very well there.
"For me the pitch is very easy, they basically have to find the complete opposite of Allardyce.
"I've always said it was a dreadful appointment and one that made no sense at all.
"I don't they were ever in trouble and I think they should have had someone better back then anyway, so it's right they let him go."

See even the French know how sh!te Allardyce is lol
Interesting to hear the reasons why Emery might not even have been a starter. Doesn’t speak a work of English and next to no French either and the PSG experience put him off. Nice words on Silva too.
