Mikel Arteta’s bid to finally bring major silverware back to Arsenal will begin in preseason as the Gunners look to finally end their trophy drought.
Arteta’s side endured another campaign of near misses last term, finishing second in the Premier League for a third successive season as well as crashing out in the Champions League to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain.
Having been plagued by injury woes over the past year, the club are set to bring in numerous high-profile signings, with a striker and defensive midfielder at the top of their wish list.
Preseason will allow Arteta to see how his new boys – which could include Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi – shape up ahead of what could be a defining campaign for the Spaniard’s legacy.
Here’s everything you need to know about Arsenal’s pre-season fixtures.
