The Spanish captain said: “The new faces bring new excitement, new energy to the team. We have also signed a contract with very important rookies. I think everyone feels that Arsenal needs to improve their stature even more and that is what we are looking for.”
Arsenal will start this summer tour with a friendly match against AC Milan in Singapore. Coach Arteta was not impressed by the atmosphere in Singapore, but also admitted that it was difficult to play in this country.
He said: “We had a great practice time in Spain. Arsenal practiced very hard with the rookie and now we are really excited to be in Singapore.
The warm welcome from the fans here is wonderful, they are really warm. And adapting to circumstances and weather is also very important. As today, we cannot practice for the weather, which is what Arsenal must adapt. Hopefully this trip will end successfully. “
Arsenal has officially set out for the pre -season trip in Asia without the presence of striker Viktor Gyokeres, when negotiations with Sporting Lisbon are still going on.
Arsenal's effort to recruit Viktor Gyokeres is falling at a standstill when the talks with Sporting Lisbon are stagnant because of the disagreement of the installment structure.
Gabriel Magalhaes admitted that Viktor Gyokeres was a great player, when the Sporting Lisbon striker was approaching to move to Arsenal.
