The 2023–24 season is Arsenal Football Club's 32nd season in the Premier League, their 98th consecutive season in the top flight of English football, and 107th season in the top flight overall.[1][2] In addition to the domestic league, Arsenal will also participate in this season's editions of the FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Champions League, returning to the premier European competition after a six-year absence. The season covers the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.

Review

Background

The 2022–23 campaign was a breakthrough season for Arsenal.[3] Their primary goal at the start of the campaign was to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League.[4] At the halfway stage of the league season, the Gunners recorded their best-ever start to a Premier League campaign with 16 wins, two draws, one loss and 50 points from the first 19 games.[3] Arsenal led the league for a long time, but ultimately their challenge collapsed, as they collected just twelve points from their final nine matches (three wins, three draws and three losses).[3] Mikel Arteta's side finished second in the Premier League, returning to Champions League football for the first time since the 2016–17 season.[4]

Arsenal were the second-youngest team in the 2022–23 Premier League with an average starting age of 25 years and 52 days, eleven days older than relegated Southampton, and two years and 201 days younger than champions Manchester City.[5] Four first-team players who were aged 24 or under on 1 July 2022 – Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli, Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka – signed new long-term contracts with the club during the campaign.[6]

Pre-season

It was reported on 3 July 2023 that some first-team players who were not in action for their respective countries since the end of the last campaign were back to the London Colney training ground for pre-season training.[7]

Arsenal announced on 6 July that English forward and academy graduate Reiss Nelson had signed a new long-term contract.[8][9] On the same day it was confirmed that first-team assistant coach Steve Round, who had joined Arteta's coaching staff in December 2019, left the club by mutual agreement.[10][11]

On 7 July, the Gunners announced that French defender William Saliba had penned a new long-term contract,[12] and would wear the number 2 shirt from the 2023–24 season, having previously worn the number 12.[13]

Two days later, Arteta's side travelled to Germany for a mini training camp at Adidas headquarters in Herzogenaurach.[14][15] Three academy players – Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri and Reuell Walters – were with the first-team squad.[16]

The Gunners faced 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Nürnberg at Max-Morlock-Stadion in Nuremberg on 13 July. Saliba recovered from a back injury that had ruled him out of Arsenal's final eleven matches of the last campaign to return to the starting line-up.[17] Saka scored a goal on 7 minutes; but the Gunners were unable to double the lead, and an own goal from Jorginho in the second half ensured that the hosts claimed a 1–1 draw. The game also saw new signing and Germany international Kai Havertz make his non-competitive debut for Arsenal as a substitute at the break.[18][19] They returned to England on the next day.

On 16 July, manager Arteta named a 29-man squad for the trip to the United States where they would play three more friendlies. The 18-year-old forward Amario Cozier-Duberry was the only academy player to travel with the first team to the US.[20]

Three days later, Arsenal faced Major League Soccer's All-Stars at Audi Field in Washington. Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring on 5 minutes with a chip over the goalkeeper. The Gunners doubled their advantage in the 23rd minute as Leandro Trossard launched home a blast from 20 yards. Two minutes after the restart, Jorginho scored a third from the penalty spot. New signings Declan Rice and Jurriën Timber made their non-competitive debuts for the club on 65 minutes. With 6 minutes remaining, Martinelli netted a fourth after being played through by captain Martin Ødegaard. Havertz collected a cross at the back post and lashed home a volley in the 89th minute, making the score 5–0.[21][22][23]

The Gunners took on Premier League side Manchester United at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on 22 July. Bruno Fernandes scored for United on 30 minutes with a long-range effort, although Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale could have done better. United's lead was doubled in the 37th minute as Jadon Sancho pounced on Gabriel Magalhães' missed clearance, raced goalwards and finished past Ramsdale. The friendly also featured a post-match penalty shootout. The Gunners lost that too after Fábio Vieira skied his effort over the crossbar.[24][25][26]

On 26 July, the club played their third and final game of the 10-day USA tour against La Liga side Barcelona at SoFi Stadium, the home of the National Football League's Los Angeles Rams which is also owned by Kroenke Sports and Entertainment. Barcelona took the lead on 7 minutes through Robert Lewandowski tucking in the rebound from Raphinha's shot. Saka levelled for the Gunners in the 13th minute with a close-range finish. Arsenal were awarded a penalty on 21 minutes, but Saka side-footed his effort wide of the right-hand post. Barcelona retook the lead through a deflected Raphinha free-kick in the 34th minute. Arteta's side drew level again on 43 minutes as Ødegaard's header was diverted home by Havertz.[27][28][29] Trossard put the Gunners ahead in the 55th minute with a left-footed strike, then added his second with a first-time finish on 78 minutes. Academy player Amario Cozier-Duberry made his non-competitive debut for Arsenal's first team as a substitute in the 84th minute. Ferran Torres pulled one back for Barcelona on 88 minutes. Just a minute later, Vieira curled a shot from 25 yards into the top left corner, helping the Gunners win 5–3.[28][29] Arteta's team flew back to London straight after the game.[27]

On 28 July, Arsenal unveiled a bronze statue of legendary former manager Arsène Wenger outside the North Bank Stand of Emirates Stadium. The statue, created by sculptor Jim Guy, is 3.5 metres (11 feet 6 inches) high, and depicts Wenger lifting the Premier League trophy. He joined five other Arsenal legends with statues outside the stadium: Tony Adams, Dennis Bergkamp, Herbert Chapman, Ken Friar and Thierry Henry.[30][31]

The Gunners finished their pre-season campaign by beating Ligue 1 side Monaco 5–4 on penalties following a 1–1 draw at home to claim the 2023 Emirates Cup on 2 August. Youssouf Fofana scored for the visitors after the half-hour mark. Arsenal levelled in the 43rd minute when Eddie Nketiah converted a Martinelli corner at the back post. There were no further goals in the second half, and the game went to a penalty shootout. Gabriel Magalhães netted the winning spot-kick after Ramsdale saved Takumi Minamino's effort.[32][33][34] In the post-match presser, Arteta confirmed that Gabriel Jesus had "some discomfort" in his right knee for the past few weeks and had undergone surgery to the knee. He would be out for a few weeks.[33][35]

First-team transfers (summer transfer window)

Havertz playing for Chelsea in 2020

The summer transfer window opened on 14 June 2023.[36] The Gunners confirmed on 16 June that they were to release thirteen players,[37] one of whom, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, had made 132 appearances for Arsenal's first-team in all competitions.[38]

Arsenal announced their first signing of the summer on 28 June with 24-year-old Germany international Kai Havertz joining the club on a long-term contract from Premier League side Chelsea,[39] for a reported fee of £62 million plus £3 million in add-ons.[40] He would wear the number 29 shirt.[41] Having graduated from Bayer Leverkusen's youth academy in 2016, Havertz made his senior debut with the club at the same year, becoming the club's youngest-ever debutant in the Bundesliga at 17 years and 126 days.[41] He also became their youngest-ever goalscorer in the league in 2017.[41] With the ability to play in several attacking positions, Havertz had made 139 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions, scoring 32 goals and providing 15 assists,[40] including hitting the winner in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final.[39] As of June 2023, Havertz had netted 13 goals in 37 appearances for his country.[39]

On 30 June, the Gunners confirmed that Spanish defender Pablo Marí, who had spent the entire last season on loan with Serie A side Monza, joined the Italian team on a permanent transfer,[42][43] for a previously agreed fee reported to be 7 million (£6 million).[44]

It was announced on 6 July that Swiss midfielder and Arsenal's vice-captain Granit Xhaka,[45] who had made 297 appearances in all competitions and won two FA Cups with the club, joined Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen on a permanent transfer for a reported fee of €25 million (£21.4 million).[46][47]

Timber playing for Ajax in April 2023
Rice warming up for West Ham United in 2021

On 14 July, the Gunners confirmed that they had signed 22-year-old Dutch defender Jurriën Timber from Eredivisie side Ajax.[48] The transfer fee was reported to be worth an initial £34.3 million (€40 million), which could rise to £38.6 million (€45 million) with add-ons.[49][50] He was assigned the number 12 shirt.[51] Timber is a graduate of Ajax Youth Academy, making his debut for the first team in 2020.[50] A versatile defender, he was capable of playing both as a centre-back and as a right-back during his time with the Dutch side.[48] Timber had made 121 senior appearances for Ajax in all competitions, winning two league titles and a Dutch Cup.[50] He had 15 caps for the Netherlands and started four of their matches at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[48] Timber has been an Arsenal fan since he was a child.[48][52]

Arsenal announced on 15 July that 24-year-old English midfielder Declan Rice had joined the club from Premier League side West Ham United on a long-term contract,[53][54] and would wear the number 41 shirt.[55] It was reported that the transfer fee was an initial £100 million plus £5 million in add-ons,[53][54] breaking Arsenal's transfer record fee paid for a player by £33 million,[56] and making him the most expensive English player[54] – the initial fee equalling the previous record held by Jack Grealish.[53] Born and raised in London, Rice joined West Ham United's academy in 2014 following his release from Chelsea's academy.[53] He had made 245 senior appearances for the Hammers in all competitions since making his debut in 2017.[54] Rice was appointed as club captain in May 2022,[55] led West Ham United to the Europa Conference League title in June 2023,[54] and was named the tournament's Player of the Season by UEFA.[57] As of July 2023, he had made 43 appearances for England.[55]

On 3 August, the Gunners announced that American defender Auston Trusty joined Premier League side Sheffield United in a permanent deal for a reported fee of £5 million.[58][59] Six days later, the club confirmed that American goalkeeper Matt Turner joined Premier League side Nottingham Forest on a permanent transfer for a reported fee of £10 million.[60][61]

August

Arsenal kicked off their season by taking part in the FA Community Shield for the 24th time in their history, against Treble-winners Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on 6 August.[62][63] New signings Havertz, Rice and Timber made their competitive debuts for the Gunners.[62][64] City's Cole Palmer broke the deadlock on 77 minutes, curling a shot into the top far corner.[65] Trossard equalised for Arsenal in the 11th minute of stoppage time when his shot deflected into the back of the net.[66] The game ended 1–1 in normal time and went straight to a penalty shootout.[63] The Gunners prevailed 4–1 from the spot with Vieira scoring the winning penalty, after Kevin De Bruyne's drive hit the crossbar and Rodri's attempt was saved by Ramsdale.[65] This was Arsenal's 17th Community Shield win, making them the second-most successful club in the competition.[65] The result meant that Arteta's side ended an eight-match losing run against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, beating them for the first time since July 2020.[66]

Kit information

This is Adidas's fifth year supplying Arsenal kit, having taken over from Puma at the beginning of the 2019–20 season.[251][252] On 2 August 2023, Arsenal and Emirates announced that they had extended their partnership to 2028 – the longest-running front-of-shirt sponsorship in Premier League history.[253][254]

  • Home: The club confirmed on 26 May 2023 that their new home kit for the 2023–24 season would debut in the final home game of the 2022–23 season. The home kit uses Arsenal's traditional colours of red and white. The shirt has a red body and white sleeves, and is complemented by white shorts and white socks. The new kit pays tribute to the 20th anniversary of the 2003–04 Invincibles season, as the Gunners' crest, Adidas' logo and three stripes feature in gold, while a lightning bolt pattern appears on the socks.[255] Red shorts may be used in some home games when there will be a colour clash with the away team's kit.
  • Away: The new men's team away kit was revealed on 18 July, one day before the 2023 Major League Soccer All-Star Game. The shirt features black lines inspired by the map of Islington, Arsenal's home borough. A yellow base colour is complemented by light blue accents on the collars and sleeves.[256] The shirt is partnered with black shorts and yellow socks.[257] Yellow shorts may be used in some away games when there will be a colour clash with the home team's kit.
  • Goalkeeper: The new goalkeeper kits are based on Adidas's goalkeeper template for the season.
