In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's final pre-season tour game in Hong Kong and some of the conversations around it.

Can we get more out of the players we have, perhaps in conjunction with new players like Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke?

But after joining Championship side Swansea on loan in August, Patino is shining again and has his sights set on breaking through under Mikel Arteta."
