Mikel Arteta’s squad for Arsenal’s pre-season tour of the USA has been bolstered by the arrivals of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes and Kai Havertz.
The two Gabis had been involved with Brazil during their Copa America campaign. It was an unfortunate quarter-final exit for the Selecao, and after three weeks’ break they have arrived from their holidays in south America.
Havertz meanwhile was involved heavily as Germany reached the quarter-finals of their home Euros. The 25-year-old scored twice en route to the last eight for his country before being cruelly knocked out by Spain after a late goal from his potential future teammate Mikel Merino.
The trio are the only current members of the first team squad who will be joining Arsenal for their remaining tour friendlies against Manchester United and Liverpool. David Raya, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice will all join up with the squad when they return to London to round off their preparations for the coming season with friendlies against Lyon and Bayer Leverkusen in the Emirates Cup.
