Arsenal set to play TWO friendlies against HeroISL clubs

Arsenal are set to play TWO friendlies in India this summer.

The Daily Star Sunday says Arsene Wenger will take the Gunners to the sub-continent to face Indian Super League sides FC Goa and Mumbai City.

The hierarchy at The Emirates have targeted India because of the huge rise in popularity of English football since the arrival of a clutch of foreign stars to the ISL.

An Arsenal source said: "India is seen very much as an untapped market in terms of revenue streams.

"There are more than a billion people in the country, so it doesn't take a lot of working out that there are lots of opportunities as yet unearthed in that part of the world."
