The 2016–17 season will be Arsenal's 25th in the Premier League and 97th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. The club will participate in the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, and the UEFA Champions League. The season covers the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.

Review

Pre-Season

Arsenal made their first summer signing prior to start of the current season on 25 May 2016 with the acquisition of Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka for a reported £30 million fee. Xhaka's involvement in Euro 2016 and his subsequent desire to secure his club future beforehand enabled Arsenal to uncharacteristically complete a signing before the formal opening of the transfer window.[1] In the following weeks, the Gunners activated the release clause of Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy.[2] However, they failed in their attempts to bring Vardy from the Premier League champions, with the England forward instead opting on signing a contract extension with the East Midlands club.[3] Manager Arsene Wenger came under fire for failing to secure the transfer, and fans were outraged further when Arsenal signed young forward Takuma Asano from Sanfrecce Hiroshima,[4] due to the relative unproven nature of the forward's capabilities. Arsenal made their third summer signing on July 22, signing League One Bolton's Player of the Year, 20 year old defender Rob Holding.[5] Arsenal played RC Lens later that day in their first pre-season game, with a late chipped goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earning Arsenal a hard-fought 1–1 draw.[6] Arsenal then flew out to California for two more pre-season fixtures, against the MLS All-Stars and Chivas de Guadalajara. Arsene Wenger confirmed that Per Mertesacker would not be on the tour, after picking up an injury against Lens. Wenger stated Mertesacker had surgery in his native Germany, and would be out for 'months'.[7] Arsenal beat the All Stars 2–1 on July 28 (July 29 BST), with Joel Campbell's penalty and a Chuba Akpom close-range finish coming either side of a goal from Didier Drogba.[8] Arsenal concluded their tour on July 31 (August 1 BST) with a 3–1 win over Mexican side Chivas. Oxlade-Chamberlain & Akpom scored their second pre-season goals each, with the opener scored by new signing Rob Holding.[9] Arsene Wenger confirmed that the injury to Mertesacker meant he'd need to sign a replacement ideally or before the season opener against Liverpool on August 14[10] as talks of incoming transfer intensified.

August

Despite the absence of key players, Arsene Wenger gave positive news ahead of a trip to Scandanavia; Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey would join the team for the tour and would likely be fit for the season opener against Liverpool. Gabriel also returned after missing the US tour with tonsillitis.[11] Arsenal's pre-season continued in Norway, against Viking FK. The Gunners were 8–0 winners; Joel Campbell continued his pre-season form with a double, while Chuba Akpom added his third goal in as many pre-season games. Alex Iwobi also scored a late double, with the remaining goals coming from Theo Walcott, Santi Cazorla (despite the Spaniard missing a third minute penalty), and an own goal from defender Michael Haukås.[12] In a post match interview, Arsene Wenger confirmed match that Mesut Özil, Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud would not be fit for the game against Liverpool in 9 days, with the trio returning to training on 8 August due to their extended exploits in Euro 2016. He stated that Jack Wilshere would be in training after a knee injury, but he could also miss the opening game, and that Per Mertesacker would not be available for four months.[13] Arsenal concluded their pre-season with a 3-2 win over Man City. Chuba Akpom scored for the fourth game running, while Theo Walcott & Alex Iwobi scored for the second successive game. Sergio Agüero and Kelechi Iheanacho scored either side of the Arsenal goals. The game ended on a sour note, with Gabriel sustaining a serious injury. The Brazilian was stretchered off, with Laurent Koscielny Arsenal's last senior centre-back.[14]

Arsenal would start the 2016–17 Premier League season with two tricky fixtures, at home game against rivals Liverpool and away to reigning Premier League champions Leicester City. However, the Gunners were the only team to do the double over the champions, and emerged as 5–2 victors in the previous meeting at the King Power Stadium.[15]

Kit information

This is third consecutive season Puma has supplied Arsenal with kits.

  • Home: The home kit features Arsenal's traditional colours of red and white, with the addition of a dark trim around the lowered neck line, on the sleeve (hooped) and along the red stripe on the shorts. The distinguishing feature of the kit is the darkened, vertical, red stripe across the centre of the kit. It also features predominantly red socks for the first time since the 2004–05 season (as opposed to only featuring on the alternate kits).
  • Away: The away kit is predominantly yellow following the trend of recent Arsenal away kits. The contrasting colour is "gunmetal grey"[75] which appears on the collar (alongside a thin, centred, yellow line), as a trim on the v-shaped neck line and on the sleeve, separated by a large yellow strip across the shoulders and multiple hooped yellow lines across the bottom section of the sleeve. The shorts are predominantly gunmetal grey, with a yellow trim along the sides. The socks are yellow with multiple gunmetal grey hooped lines on the upper section.
  • Third: The third kit is an abstraction from previous alternate kits for Arsenal as it predominantly features a single colour of dark blue. A vibrant neon yellow forms the detail across a wide strip on the shoulder and on the cuffs of the sleeves. The shorts are also dark blue with neon yellow detail along the sides and the kit is completed with single-colour neon yellow socks with a single dark blue hoop on the upper section.

Pre-season

Lens 1–1 Arsenal in Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

In February 2016, it was announced that Arsenal would play in the Major League Soccer All-Star Game at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California in addition to a friendly against Mexican side Guadalajara three days later.[76] However, Arsenal later announced that the annual Emirates Cup would be cancelled for the second time in its history due to the extended absence of international players participating in Euro 2016 and "essential pitch reconstruction works" at the Emirates Stadium.[77] Arsenal confirmed their final pre-season fixtures before the Premier League campaign in early-June 2016, as Scandinavian trips against Viking in Stavanger and Premier League rivals Manchester City in Gothenburg completed the line-up.[78] It is the third time in four years that Arsenal and Manchester City will meet in a pre-season fixture outside of England.[79] To complete Arsenal's pre-season calendar, in early-July, Arsenal announced their pre-season opening fixture against RC Lens of Ligue 2 to be played 15 days after the announcement date. It was hence confirmed that the club's pre-season fixture list would stretch from 22 July to 7 August 2016 (6 days before the start of the Premier League season).
