Arsenal ended their impressive pre-season with yet another clean sheet in a 6-0 demolition of Sevilla, as Gabriel Jesus bagged his first Gunners hat-trick.
Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah were also on the scoresheet, whilst new signing Oleksandr Zinchenko impressed in defence. As things look promising for Mikel Arteta on the pitch, technical director Edu continues to work off the pitch after already securing five signings this summer.
More incoming and outgoing transfers expected before the deadline at the end of August after Arteta admitted the club still want to complete more deals 'if the market allows it', meaning there is still the opportunity for the Gunners to improve and trim down the squad as the Premier League season opener against Crystal Palace edges closer.

Tavares seals Marseille loan
Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares has secured a deal to sign for Ligue 1 outfit Marseille on a season-long loan.
A statement on the Gunners' website read: "Nuno Tavares has joined Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille on a season-long loan deal.

£50m Ligue 1 star drops transfer hint
Arsenal fans spotted that David liked two posts on the official Arsenal Instagram page, promoting the club's new third kit.
This isn't the first time that the Canadian striker has hinted at a move to the north Londoners, having previously been seen wearing a Thierry Henry jumper sparking excitement on social media.
Edu previously met with the David's agent at the end of last year and was highly admired by certain figures within London Colney and the Brazilian could look to return to those negotiations this summer. Arteta is keen to add another attacker to his squad, despite Gabriel Jesus' fine form in pre-season and Eddie Nketiah signing a contract renewal, shown by the Gunners' attempt to land former Leeds winger Raphinha.
Real Madrid deal Arsenal transfer blow
According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid are now interested in signing Arsenal target Fabian Ruiz on a free transfer next summer.
The Gunners have been previously linked with the Spanish midfielder but could be beaten to a deal for the Napoli star with Carlo Ancelotti keen to add Fabian to his squad.
Arsenal are said to be targeting a new midfield signing this summer with Leicester's Youri Tielemans and Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic both being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners looking set to miss out on a deal for Fabian unless they accelerate their interest this summer.
