The 2018–19 season will be Arsenal's 27th season in the Premier League, 102nd overall season in the top flight and 93rd consecutive season in the top flight of English football. The club will participate in the Premier League, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the UEFA Europa League.

This will be the club's first season in 22 years without manager Arsène Wenger.[1] For the second consecutive season, Arsenal qualified for the UEFA Europa League, and will be the first season under new coach Unai Emery.[2]

Review

Pre-season

Arsenal began their off-season by completing some squad alterations. They started by announcing the departure of club captain Per Mertesacker, who retired to become their new academy coach.[3] After six years at the club, Santi Cazorla's departure was also announced upon the expiry of his contract.[4] Furthermore, Petr Cech, Hector Bellerin, Mohamed Elneny, Mesut Özil, Granit Xhaka and Ainsley Maitland-Niles all received new squad numbers, with the latter two also extending their contracts with the club.

After completing a clearout of backroom staff to coincide with their new club-model following the retirement of long-term manager Arsène Wenger, Spaniard Unai Emery was appointed as the club's new head coach.[5]

The first signing of the Emery era was Swiss right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner, who joined on a free transfer from Juventus on 5 June.[6] The club then signed German goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen two weeks later, for a rumored fee of £19.2 million.[7] Meanwhile, club stalwart Jack Wilshere departed following the expiry of his contract, after seventeen years at the club,[8] and Greek central defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos joined the club from Borussia Dortmund for £14.8 million on 8 July.[9] Shortly thereafter, the club signed defensive midfielder Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria for a reported fee of £26.4 million on 10 July, and announced the transfer of Mattéo Guendouzi from Lorient for a rumoured £7 million a day later.
