The Arsenal pre-season tour is in full swing with the senior squad heading off to the United States to play three fixtures against Everton, Orlando City and Chelsea in Florida. They will then return to the Emirates to play Sevilla in their stadium’s namesake tournament.
However, nearly all of the youth squad were left behind by Mikel Arteta. Only Arthur Okonkwo and Reuell Walters managed to get a spot on the plane having clearly impressed the Arsenal manager.
The other Arsenal youngsters have stayed behind, and many took part in another pre-season friendly. The first of the summer was a 3-2 loss to Woking but this was followed up by a 3-1 victory away at Hereford.
