Arsenal have a crucial summer ahead of them as they look to progress in the 2024/25 season. The Gunners closed in on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table last year but failed to cross the finish line once again.
It was another case of being very close and, at the same time, very far away for Arsenal during the 2023/24 season. The Gunners went into the final day of the Premier League campaign but were unable to usurp Pep Guardiola’s dominance, and ended another season without any silverware to show for their consistency and brilliant performances.
Manager Mikel Arteta will be desperate to turn the team’s fortunes around next season. The team is expected to be active in the transfer market again this summer and may be one or two signings away from lifting the elusive Premier League trophy.
The club’s summer preparations have played a crucial role in their recent two successful domestic campaigns, although the presence of two major international tournaments could complicate matters this time around with changes to the club’s plans.
But where are Arsenal headed for the 2024/25 pre-season?
The north Londoners are among several English giants preparing for a tour of the United States this summer. The Gunners will travel to North America in late July. They have three games scheduled against Premier League sides, including two teams they are likely to compete with near the top of the table next year.
In the coming weeks, they will fine-tune their preparations with a series of warm-up matches. Here is their full schedule:
