Arsenal are set to add a training camp in Germany, another game in the USA, and the Emirates Cup to their current pre-season plans.

As it stands, the only fixtures on Arsenal’s official pre-season schedule are the clashes with Orlando City on July 20th and Chelsea on July 23rd, but there’s plenty more to come.

REDaction Gooners reported from Arsenal’s Fans Forum on Tuesday that Mikel Arteta’s side will undertake a training camp in Germany.

ACL Soccer claim Arsenal will also play a friendly against Everton in Baltimore, USA on July 16th, as well as fitting in another edition of the Emirates Cup – though the exact date for that event remains a mystery.

This all fits with previous reports, with Charles Watts writing that Everton were Arsenal’s likely third opponent in the USA.

Watts added that the Gunners would play a match in Europe, likely in Germany, as well as a one-day edition of the Emirates Cup.

Meanwhile, the u18s will reportedly hold a pre-season tour up in Edinburgh from Monday 18th July to Saturday 23rd July.

Even though it’s one of the only confirmed fixtures, there are obviously still some concerns about playing Chelsea, considering the state of the club’s ownership situation at the moment.

If Chelsea are still being sanctioned by the summer, a trip to the U.S. seems unfeasible. Ideally, we’ll get clarity over that fixture and all the rest in the coming weeks.
