Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta has revealed that the team is keen to entertain fans on their upcoming tour of Asia.

The Gunners fly out to the Far East on Thursday as they get their preparations underway for the new Premier League campaign.

"When it comes to the games, we need to put some good performances in and put on a good show," Arteta told the club's official website. "The fans will be excited and we don't know when we're going to get back there. It's going to be important."

Arsenal's first fixture on tour is on Sunday in Jakarta against the Indonesia Dream Team.
