For Arsenal fans located in the States, it's been a long time coming to see their beloved club return after COVID-19 meant the original tour was cancelled back in July last year, but it's safe to say that it was worth the wait. Three wins in three games certainly represent a successful week and a half for the squad and supporters, with the 4-0 win over Chelsea undoubtedly the most impressive display.
It also presented the opportunity to see some of the new signings in action, including Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner, Marquinhos and even Oleksandr Zinchenko on the final day. However, although the performances and results on the pitch are, of course, encouraging, it's also what happens off it that can often be the most important.
More details of the squad's time in America have emerged since they landed back in London on Sunday morning, and one, in particular, could have huge benefits for the upcoming season. Granit Xhaka and Rob Holding explained to The Athletic how improving the team harmony, and togetherness was a focal part of the tour.
