12.29.2014

I-League side Bengaluru FC has confirmed that it is in talks with a Premier League side to "come and play a pre-season friendly" in India sometime in July, according to the DHNS. BFC CEO Parth Jindal said, "I can't obviously give the name of the team but yes there have been talks with a (Premier League) side. They (the club in question) first approached us and we responded to them and we are talking to them right now. If it happens, it will happen next pre-season (July 2015)." Bengaluru has "also been talking to" a couple of Indian Super League sides for a tour. While the "identity of the side remains under lock and key, there are strong indications" that it could well be Arsenal (DHNS, 12/28).
