Arsenal endured more top-four heartbreak in 2021-22, as they once again failed to secure Champions League qualification, but positive progress is being made by an exciting young squad that continues to work under the watchful eye of Mikel Arteta.

Continental football in the form of Europa League competition will be on the agenda for the Gunners in 2022-23, with a more hectic schedule suggesting that money will be spent on adding greater depth to the first-team squad.

Pre-season outings will give any new additions an opportunity to find their feet, and Arteta a chance to tinker with tactical plans, with GOAL on hand to bring you all you need to know about Arsenal’s preparations for the next campaign.

The Gunners completed their pre-season campaign with a 6-0 win over Sevilla in the Emirates Cup.
