Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is looking forward to their preseason tour of the Far East.

Szczesny is accustomed to the support of 60,000 Arsenal devotees at Emirates Stadium but he wasn't expecting the reception the team received on tour.

"The highlight for me last year was realising how many fans we have so far away from the UK," Szczesny told Arsenal Player.

"We were shocked really, we didn't expect anything like it. We thought we were going to be there for a nice trip, play a couple of games, have a few training sessions, and that's it, but people were outside the hotel 24/7.

"It gives you the idea of how big a club this is and it's something that stuck in my mind.

"In every training session just one single good move from a single player gets the fans going. They're very positive and as I said we enjoyed the trip because of that, because of the fans. That's what we are looking forward to again."
