The Gunners have arrived in Singapore with new signings in tow with Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi ready to make their first appearances for the club.
Noni Madueke will join up with the club after their tour of Asia with Viktor Gyokeres now tantalisingly close to sealing his move.
