Arsenal will face AC Milan and Newcastle United in Singapore before heading to Hong Kong to play Tottenham Hotspur for the first-ever overseas North London Derby. Then, once the Gunners return to the United Kingdom, they'll host Villarreal and Athletic Club at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal remain optimistic they can tie up a deal with Sporting for Viktor Gyokeres in time for the Swede to feature on their pre-season tour of Asia

Though there reportedly remains a debate ongoing over the nature and structure of the bonuses included, Mikel Arteta was hoping to have Gyokeres signed in time for Saturday’s departure for their pre-season tour of Asia, along with Chelsea winger Noni Madueke and Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera.
