Arsenal announce squad list for US tour: Thomas Partey present

Despite previous reports claiming that Thomas Partey will not be a part of the Gunners' tour to the United States, his name appeared on the squad list posted on the official website of the club.

Here is a brief summary of Arsenal's pre-season schedule:

Everton vs. Arsenal

After facing FC Nurnberg, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will take on his former club Everton in Baltimore on Saturday, July 16. The game will be known as the Charm City match due to the city's nickname.

Orlando vs. Arsenal

Arsenal will take on Orlando City in the Clash of Nations, part of the FC Series, a national expansion of the Florida Cup.

The Orlando team includes ex-AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato.

Chelsea vs. Arsenal

Arsenal have frequently played London rivals Chelsea in pre-season games in recent years. They met in the Mind Series at Emirates Stadium last year and in 2018 they faced each other in Dublin.

This will be a great opportunity for fans in the US to see two high-profile Premier League clubs go head-to-head.

Arsenal vs. Sevilla

Arsenal's established home pre-season showpiece, the Emirates Cup features six-time UEFA Europa League winners Sevilla in July.

The game will also provide a formal tribute between the clubs to Jose Antonio Reyes, a favourite with both sets of supporters during the early 2000s who died in 2019.
