BEIJING (AFP) - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger spoke of his desire to bring in fresh faces as his team arrived in China on Wednesday ahead of a game with Premier League Champions Manchester City.
Wenger also joined Arsenal's Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta in praising Malaga winger Santi Cazorla - who is expected to be the Gunners' third high-profile signing of the summer.
The Arsenal boss has already brought in German striker Lukas Podolski and Frenchman Olivier Giroud.
The return of Abou Diaby and Jack Wilshere from long-term injury will also bolster the Arsenal team for the next campaign, Wenger said.
