Arsenal will face German outfit Nurnberg in a pre-season friendly for the second summer running, football.london understands.
The Gunners put together their best season under Mikel Arteta this year with a second-placed finish in the Premier League. For large parts of the campaign, they seemed destined to win the league title over Manchester City, but it wasn't meant to be.
Preparation is already underway for next year, starting with a friendly against the Bundesliga 2 side at the start of pre-season. The fixture will be the fourth confirmed as part of Arsenal's pre-season. Arteta's side will face a MLS All-Stars XI on Thursday July 20 before taking on Manchester United (July 22) and Barcelona (July 26) - all of which will be in the United States.
