Revealed: Five Pre-season friendly Matches Arsenal will play this summer

Arsenal face a shorter set of pre-season fixtures than usual this summer due to many players being involved at Euro 2016.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will take his side to France for their first friendly against Lens next Friday, with a host of youngsters set to be involved including the highly-rated Gedion Zelalem, who spent last season on loan at Scottish side Rangers.
