Review
[edit]Pre-season
[edit]On 30 April 2012, Arsenal announced they were going to sign German international, Lucas Podolski from Cologne for an undisclosed fee.[1] Podolski will officially join Arsenal when the summer transfer window opens on 1 July.[2]
Arsenal's pre season will see them take part in a tour to the Far East and Africa, similar to the one they embarked upon before their 2011-12 season.[3] Arsenal will start their tour by traveling to Malaysia to play a Malaysian XI in Kuala Lumpur.[4] From there, they will travel to China to play fellow English team, Manchester City in Beijing in the inaugural "China Cup".[4][5] Arsenal will then travel to Hong Kong to play Kitchee SC.[4] They will then travel to Nigeria to play "a leading African team" in their first visit to Africa since visiting South Africa in 1993.[6] Manager, Arsène Wenger said that Arsenal had compromised on their normal pre season training camp in Austria to "get in touch" with Arsenal's fanbase.[3] Due to the 2012 Summer Olympics being held in London, it was announced that Arsenal will not host the Emirates Cup tournament as part of their pre season[7] due to the fact it would lead to increased pressure on London's infrastructure.[8] However, Arsenal chief executive, Ivan Gazidis stated that the Emirates Cup would be hosted by Arsenal in 2013.[7]
