Arsenal v Paris Saint Germain - International Champions Cup 2018

With Arsene Wenger finally parting ways with Arsenal, this truly marks an end of an era and now the gooners can officially say that they are in transition.

Unai Emry has not been shy to stamp his authority on the club by letting go of Jack Wilshere and Santi Carzola who were endeared by fans and bringing in the likes of Lucas Torreira, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Sokratis Papastathopoulos ( the most difficult name to pronounce in football). Emry has brought in characters that has Arsenal has lacked over the years. There's no doubt that Arsenal can play some of the most beautiful football but it's when they are challenged physically by teams is when they suffer the most. These signings will add the bite and resilience they were lacking.

Unai Emery may not be the most exciting manager but he does bring some pedigree with him, winning three consecutive Europa League titles with Sevilla is no mean feat. With most of the players in his squad either not going or returning early form the World Cup means that he has had time to work with most of the squad and get his ideas across. Emery has a good record working with traditional number 10's and the prospect of him working with Mesut Ozil is an exciting one for Arsenal Fans. I expect Arsenal to be the surprise package this season but am not sure about their consistency.

Key Player : Mesut Ozil
