The Gunners watched Major League Soccer (MLS) to bolster their goalkeeping division this summer and complete the signing of US international Matt Turner following his departure from New England Revolution.
Arsenal also acquired Auston Trusty from Colorado Rapids on the day of the deadline in January, with the defender on loan to Championship side Birmingham since then.
Mikel Arteta’s team is a frequent visitor across the Atlantic, with their latest pre-season tour of America bringing much success with wins over Everton and Orlando City before Saturday night’s Florida Cup final, with London rivals thrashing Chelsea at Camping World Stadium.
After that 4-0 thump from Thomas Tuchel’s side who maintained Arsenal’s 100 per cent record in friendlies with Sevilla next in the Emirates Cup, Arteta was inevitably questioned about the prospect of adding more American players to his squad in the future.
