Arsènal

Signed by Arsene Wenger

Based on unprecedented access granted to the authors, including exclusive interviews with Arsène Wenger, Arsènal looks in detail at the club’s transformation into a global super-power. From ‘boring, boring Arsenal’ to the most exciting young team on the planet, the third richest football club in the world playing in a brand new and invariably sold-out state-of-the-art stadium – it’s largely down to one man.

Set during a season when the club has dazzled on the pitch and announced a turnover of £200 million off it, football guru Alex Fynn and The Gooner editor Kevin Whitcher dissect the events that led to Wenger’s arrival and his 11 years at the club to reveal just how extensively his influence, from the training ground to the boardroom, has shaped the modern Arsenal.

As close to Wenger as anyone outside the club, they examine his footballing philosophy, his training methods, his hopes, fears and aspirations for his team and his club – not to mention his failings – as no-one has ever done before.

"Alex Fynn is a football guru, and I'm always interested to hear what he has to say." Arsène Wenger

“Many writers have tried to explain what makes Arsenal a football club that is so widely admired, even by its fiercest rivals. Arsènal comes closer than any previous book, offering a privileged insight into the club's fascinating blend of tradition and innovation and in particular the unique methods and motivations of its figurehead, Arsène Wenger.”
