So much has happened since The Gunners opened their preseason with a tour to Sydney. Below are the updates on the latest Arsenal updates:
Winning Streak
The Gunners have maintained a 100% winning record since the start of the pre season so far. Having taken on hosts Sydney FC and Sydney Wanderers in Australia before heading to China for the ICC competition.
The International Champions Cup (ICC) featured 5 teams namely AC Milan, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Lyon and Bayern Munich.
The North London club defeated Bayern Munich on penalties after the game ended 1-1 ordinary time courtesy of an Iwobi inspired move and finish in the 94th minute.
Sanchez future update
During his pre-match press conference, Arsene Wenger confirmed the club’s stand on Alexis Sanchez’s immediate future. Here is the quote from the Telegraph:
The decision has been made and we will stick to that. The decision is not to sell. I have not spoken to him (since the interview). But I can only reiterate what I have said before (he will not be sold).
Pep Guardiola has this to say when asked about Sanchez move(as per Goal):
Alexis is a player from Arsenal,” he told a press conference. “Arsene said that [Alexis will stay], it’s because he knows more than me.
It remains to be seen if Arsene Wenger will be able to remain defiant until the 1st of September on this subject.
