Arsenal confirm Vietnamese deal
Arsenal have confirmed a partnership with Vietnamese club Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL).
The partnership will see Arsenal and HAGL share training resources and establish Arsenal's presence in the South East Asian region.
The club will also help support HAGL's technical and academy development, whilst HAGL will build on Arsenal's commercial support base in Vietnam.
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: "We try to extend Arsenal in many territories, but in a way where we can make a difference with our technical cooperation.
"Of course, we want to develop future talent but I also support the local benefits of a great project which gives a chance to young players who have a dream.
"Our venture in Thailand and now Vietnam will show us if it's true that with the same quality of work, Asian players are as capable of making a career in Europe where you have a selection of the best players in the world."
