Arsenal kick-off their 2019/20 Premier League campaign with a 2pm clash against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday 11 August to be shown live on Sky Sports.
Arsenal finished their 2018/19 campaign with a defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League Final and narrowing missed out on the final Champions League places, meant the Gunners will continue to play in the Europa League for the third consecutive season.
Unai Emery and his squad will be hoping to secure a top-four finish in getting back into the Champions League. The Gunners will probably have their eyes on some silverware and to go one better in the Europa League this year could prove vital.
Arsenal’s pre-season tour got off to a shaky start with club captain, Laurent Koscielny, refusing to travel. Koscielny, who is the longest-serving member of the Arsenal squad believed that his 9 years of service to the club has earned the right to terminate his contract despite still having a year left. Arsenal are taking disciplinary actions, which included stripping Koscielny of the club captaincy.
Arsenal’s only summer signing was young Brazilian forward, Gabriel Martinelli, for a £6m fee. There have been numerous headlines around Arsenal’s transfer budgets believed to be around £45m. The lack of budget and ambition from owner Stan Kroenke, lead many fans to grow infuriated and begin protesting his ownership with the hashtag #WeCareDoYou.
The fans are urging the club to make some signings before the transfer window closes as they are on the verge of secure the services of Saint Etienne centre-back William Saliba. Arsenal are working on a loan deal for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos and they are continuing their pursuit of signing Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney.
