Mikel Arteta’s bid to finally bring major silverware back to Arsenal will begin in pre-season 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.
Pre-season will allow Arteta to see how his new boys – which could include the likes of Benjamin Sesko 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.
When does Arsenal’s pre-season begin?
