Arsenal vs. AC Milan: Preseason Showdown
Arsenal will challenge AC Milan on July 23 in Singapore, marking the kickoff of their preseason. Both clubs are undergoing substantial transformations this summer. Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has brought in new players such as Kepa Arrizabalaga, now the backup for David Raya, alongside Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, who have assumed the defensive midfield roles previously held by Jorginho and Thomas Partey. Recently, Arsenal also acquired Cristhian Mosquera for $18.6 million and Noni Madueke for $70 million from Chelsea.
AC Milan, under the leadership of new manager Massimiliano Allegri, is also facing significant changes. The Rossoneri have signed Samuele Ricci from Torino and Luka Modric as a free agent, while letting go of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City and selling Theo Hernandez to Al-Hilal among others.
Context of the Match
Both teams are ready to mark the beginning of their preseason campaigns, which follows disappointing performances last season. Arsenal strives for a solid start as they build up their squad.
