Arsenal<\/a> look to end their six-year wait for a trophy.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Gunners will play in Kuala Lumpur against a Malaysia XI on July 13 before taking on Chinese side Hangzhou Greentown on the July 16.<\/span><\/p>\nWenger told the club’s official website: \u201cThe group will live together in a completely different environment so it is very important to have that kind of experience together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt is an opportunity for us to develop our game, to see what shape the players are in when they come back and also to see any new players that we have. It will be important to see how well they can integrate with the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will take the best possible squad. We travel after the first week of training and everybody will be back so the whole squad will travel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arsenal in previous years have declined the opportunity to play in tournaments in the Far East in favour of shorter trips to Europe but the Arsenal boss has admitted it is a good opportunity to reach out to the Gunners fan-base in Asia.<\/p>\n
\u201cI resisted for a long time but, as the Premier League becomes more and more a world league, it is important that we develop our fan bases,\u201d said the Frenchman.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cChina is a massive country where football is developing. The Premier League is a world brand and you don\u2019t want to miss out in a country where you have so many potential fans.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe organisation will be great, the hospitality will be great. People always try to help you out so I am not too worried about the aspects that you are usually worried about when you go on a long trip.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that I have worked in Japan and I have been to Malaysia and China, I know how well people want to do for you and so I am quite peaceful to go there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
