Arsenal's preseason in Asia: Arteta's focus, transfers, ones to watch

Arsenal's preseason got underway in earnest on Saturday as the squad flew to Singapore. The Gunners will play three matches in Asia, wrapping up the tour with the first north London derby outside of the United Kingdom, against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong at the end of the month.

Head coach Mikel Arteta has taken a 30-man group on what is Arsenal's first trip to the region in seven years, with the Gunners beginning preparations for what is another huge campaign for both manager and club.

Arteta won the FA Cup in 2020 but no silverware since despite steady and undeniable progress in that time.
