Arsenal players ahead of the new season returned to training and started their summer preparation for the upcoming seasonwhich will start in mid-August. The Premier League has given the Canaries a very tough start to the new season, which makes pre-season preparation all the more important. In the first round of England's top competition, Arsenal will visit the Manchester United. Next up will be a home game against a newcomer from Leeds, exit to Liverpool, two home games in a row (with Nottingham and Manchester City) and then a duel at St James’ Park with Newcastle. At the beginning of the season, you would probably look for a tougher start among the other teams. However, a club that wants to play for the title must be able to cope with a difficult start to the season. If you're interested in Arsenal's full fixture list, you'll find it in the article titled "The 2025/2026 Premier League schedule is here!".

He joined the team after a loan spell in Seville, Spain. Albert Sambi Lokongawho is expected to leave the club in the summer. The 15-year-old megatalent has also joined the A team in preparation Max Dowman. Some players will join the training process later for various reasons. Some are missing due to injury (e.g. Brazilian pair Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel), while others are still enjoying the extended time off that the North London team has allowed them (e.g. Ethan Nwaneri).

Arsenal are also waiting for the summer training journey to Asia, specifically to Singapore and Hong Kong, where they will take on AC Milan, Newcastle and Tottenham. Mikel Arteta would like to have a complete squad including all new reinforcements before this trip. I guess we have a lot to look forward to in the next two weeks in terms of the club's transfer activity!
