Arsenal’s pre-season preparations have already begun as Mikel Arteta gears up for another Premier League campaign.
It doesn’t seem like five minutes since Arsenal were reflecting on missing out on the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta’s men just came up short once again, losing out to Manchester City for the second season in a row.
Arsenal came even closer this time around and will head into the new season seeking ways to get over the line.
New signings will naturally be targeted but Arteta has already started working with some of his plays ahead of pre-season officially starting.
Many Arsenal players are away on international duty right now, featuring in Euro 2024 or Copa America.
Some of those who aren’t involved are now training in Marbella, undergoing something of a pre-pre-season under Arteta.
Gabriel Jesus trains with his former club
Ben White, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira, Jurrien Timber and Reiss Nelson are already out there and more players are set to follow.
Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey are expected to join up with their Arsenal teammates, as is striker Gabriel Jesus.
Jesus has not been included in the Brazil squad for Copa America and will be looking to bounce back after a rather disappointing campaign.
The 27-year-old managed just four Premier League goals last season, making only 17 starts alongside 10 substitute appearances.
Jesus was a huge signing for Arsenal in 2022 but is already in danger of being phased out by the Gunners if he doesn’t recapture his best form.
