Arsenal exploring plans of US preseason trip | OneFootball

Arsenal intend to hold part of their preseason in the US.

Goal says they will face Chelsea at the Emirates and then make the short journey across North London to play Spurs at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while the other game will take place at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal are also looking to play another pre-season fixture at home in addition to the Chelsea one.

The Emirates Cup will not return in its usual two-day format, but talks are underway for a match against high-profile opposition with the club's sponsors.

That is expected to be their final game before the 2021/22 campaign kicks-off.

Arsenal will also spend time in Scotland over the summer and are looking into the prospect of a week's warm weather training in the US - although a destination has not yet been finalised.

That could include further games - but travel restrictions may force Arteta to decide a European pre-season trip would be a smoother option.
