Arsenal are reportedly in talks to take part in the 2018 International Champions Cup in Singapore, as they plot a lucrative return to Asia for pre-season.

The Gunners spent time in China last summer, while also visiting Australia as part of the their preparations for the 2017-18 campaign.

Arsenal, who last travelled to Singapore three years ago, are said to be in line to replace Chelsea as the English representatives in this year's competition.

According to TODAYOnline, Catalyst Media Group and Relevant Sport - the organisers of the International Champions Cup - are keen to get Arsene Wenger's side on board as soon as possible.

Two other European teams will also be involved, with Inter Milan edging out Bayern Munich and Chelsea to win the regional group in 2017.
