We’ve got no idea what they’re supposed to be promoting this time round, but once again Arsenal are doing Arsenal things on social media.
The Gunners’ latest offering is an advert that sees Per Mertesacker, Santi Cazorla and Carl Jenkinson enjoying your typical traditional Australian Christmas – a barbecue on the beach.
