Arsenal to travel to United States in pre-season

Arsenal will play two matches in the United States during pre-season for the 2016-17 campaign, including the MLS All-Star Game on July 28.

Arsenal have confirmed that they will travel to the United States as part of their pre-season preparations for the 2016-17 campaign.

The Gunners will play two matches in the USA, with the first of those coming in the MLS All-Star Game on July 28, which will be held at the recently-opened Avaya Stadium.

Arsenal will also face Chivas three days later, and manager Arsene Wenger is looking forward to the trip.

"Pre-season is a critically important time for us and we are delighted to be coming to San Jose and Los Angeles to participate in the 2016 MLS All-Star Game and to play Chivas," he is quoted as saying by PA.

"We have tremendous support across America and enjoyed our visit to New York in the summer of 2014 when we played the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. We are all looking forward to this summer's trip as we prepare for our 2016-2017 season."

The likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and former Arsenal defender Ashley Cole are all possible inclusions for the MLS All-Star team.
